When vehicles are upgraded with aftermarket audio amplifiers, auxiliary lighting, high-flow cooling fans, or high-draw electronics, the stock alternator cannot maintain sufficient amperage at low RPM. This deficit forces the battery to supply auxiliary current, resulting in thermal stress on factory diodes, dimming headlamps, erratic idle voltage, and shortened battery life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis high-output unit delivers up to 300 amps via heavy-gauge copper stator windings and heavy-duty internal rectification designed to manage continuous high-current demands. Assembled with an internal regulator and an internal cooling fan to mitigate heat soak, this alternator maintains stable voltage levels at idle and throughout stop-and-go driving. Designed for an exact bolt-on installation, it matches the OEM mounting points, factory plug layout, and includes a matching 6-groove pulley to directly replace factory units like OEM part number \u003cstrong\u003eCV6Z10346B\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x 300-Amp High Output Alternator with 6-groove pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100% style=\" border-collapse: collapse border: solid font-size: min-width:\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2012-2018 Ford Focus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuratec 20 2.0L\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eC346\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e160 hp \/ 146 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eCV6Z10346B, FG15S046SP, 2610970SP, 220928173509, 10131, 10131N, GL-865\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2012-2018 Ford Focus 2.0L (6-groove pulley models)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the C346 Focus?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2012-2018 Ford Focus equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eDuratec 20 2.0L\u003c\/strong\u003e engine using the factory 6-groove belt configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to upgrade my electrical wiring?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor installations handling high electrical loads, upgrading the main charging wire and ground cable with heavy-gauge cabling (Big 3 upgrade) is strongly recommended to safely utilize the full 300-amp capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Electrical Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle sustained auxiliary loads, this unit maintains factory electrical reliability and battery health across daily driving and demanding high-draw duty cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67621517132024,"sku":"DS-EWUB48PYZ","price":532.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/high-output-alternator-for-ford-focus-2012-2018-2-0l-1.jpg?v=1791663745","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/high-output-alternator-for-ford-focus-2012-2018-2-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
