13826 Alternator Fit for Nissan Murano 2003-2007, Maxima, Infiniti

In this review the Farrme 13826 alternator is evaluated for drivers who need a direct, reliable replacement for aging OEM units. It is aimed at owners of Nissan Murano 2003-2007, Maxima 1995-2000/2002-2003, and Infiniti I30/I35 models seeking a robust 12V, 110A alternator that matches original fit and function. The single biggest reason to buy is its OEM-style construction and compatibility list, which make it a straightforward swap for those who want a new, fully tested unit with an internal regulator and a 6-groove pulley.

Key Features

• Direct fit compatibility: Built to match part numbers like 13826N and 23100CN100 so installation is often plug-and-play for listed Nissan and Infiniti models.
• 110A output: Provides consistent 12V charging capacity suitable for stock electrical loads and common accessories without overworking the system.
• 6-groove pulley: Uses a 6-groove pulley design to maintain proper belt engagement and reduce slippage on compatible engines.
• Internal regulator and fan: Includes an internal voltage regulator and internal fan for a compact assembly and simplified wiring compared with external regulator units.
• Durable construction: Die-cast aluminum housing, pure copper windings, and precision machining aim to resist heat, vibration, and corrosion for long service life.
• OEM testing: Each unit is tested to OEM specifications to ensure charging performance and fit prior to shipping.

Who It's For

This alternator is best for owners of the specific Nissan and Infiniti years listed who need a like-for-like replacement and prefer a new unit that meets OEM fit, form, and function. It suits DIYers with basic mechanical experience and professional shops seeking a drop-in alternator that reduces diagnostic time when the original part has failed.

Those who should look elsewhere include vehicles outside the stated compatibility list or cars that require an alternator with a different rotation, amperage, pulley count, or an external regulator. Also consider a remanufactured option if cost is the primary concern and budget overrides buying new.
