That's surprising, as the 'only' way they ever fail is the regulator, and the bearings can get old, all available very cheaply. Didn't know there was any other way they can fail  :-\

I had a total alternator failure, at work, where I could fully charge the battery.

On a fully charged battery, I drove home 22 miles, with everything turned off. It died just as I pulled into the driveway.
