I have been unable to find any specs on the ascent alternator. Dimensions and amperage for the touring in particular. Anyone else have any luck?

Good question; We know that in the Outback there were two different flavors of Alternators. For less demanding trim levels the output was 110 amps. For touring it was a 130 amp alternator.

I would suspect that the Ascent would need the larger alternator as the electrical needs of the vehicle are not less than a fully loaded Outback.

Found the answer. According to the manual recently posted in another topic, it is a 12v 190A alternator.

That beats most I believe..just looked at Buick Avenir and Chev Traverse High Country...170 Amps

That’s a big one, I do have a spare 2k sine wave inverter laying around ?

Does anyone know if it's a "Smart Alternator" aka variable voltage alternator?
