✅ Check serpentine/drive belts every 10,000–15,000 km — loose o r cracked belts can slip.

✅ Clean dust and debris around the alternator with compressed air during regular servicing.

✅ Avoid deep water driving during monsoon, o r get alternator inspected afterward.

✅ Don’t overload the electrical system with heavy aftermarket electronics.

✅ Ensure proper battery health, as a weak battery puts strain on the alternator.

✅ Ask for a charging system test during major services.
