# 22448959 Alternator Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta mounting kit for a 12V/115A or 24V/80A extra alternator on D4 and D6 engines from EVC-D onwards, weighing 1.429 kg and listed for 128 applications. It is the later-generation counterpart to 3889549, which covers EVC-A to EVC-C3; the two are only 114 grams apart, so the electronic vessel control generation is the thing to check. The catalogue states it cannot be combined with servo steering, and names the alternator as 3840181 for 12V/115A or 3840183 for 24V/80A.
