Never tried it, Amazon carries it plus a few that are less expensive

I was gonna suggest the ones at Amazon too, if you're going the online store route.
I got mine 7 months ago from Autozone for just about the same price as the one sold by autopartswarehouse.com. I was sold on the lifetime warranty of a local store. It's a reman, as most of those are, made by Hitachi.

 

A few years I go rebuilt my own alternator on my Accord, what I did was simple, the battery light came on, I drove to Autozone and had them check it was not fully changing. I drove the car home ordered a new set of brushes, didn't even take the alternator out of the engine, changed the brushes drove the car back to Autozone and had them test it again, I was charging like new. I end up spending $11.99 for the brushes, drove the car 50,000 miles after that and never had a problem... i am new to the maxima engine but if the brushes are available just try to do it ... if i were you I would much rather try to rebuilt my oem alternator than buy some re-manufactured junk... just my $.02 that of course if everything else inside is working!

 

The reason I was looking at that particular alternator is because of this:
QUALITY-BUILT SUPREME ALTERNATOR, NEW -- 125 amps

It's brand new and 125 amps where the OE is 110 I believe. Can't hurt getting a bit more amps.

Only thing my current alternator is doing is producing the whoosh-whoosh-whoosh sound as the engine idles.

I'm at 210,000 miles by the way.

 

yea at 200k+ the bearings inside a probably getting bad! I would suggest just getting a new part!
