I'm staying with lead-acid batteries. As Dave points out, it may not be
worth the cost to upgrade, I may just have my existing alternator rebuilt.
Thanks for the info.

Note you will need one of these to fit a Balmar, 10si clone, or other
alternator that isn’t a stock Motorola onto an A4:

Balmar does make alternators that fit, but be prepared to spend $$$$$
if you buy one new. Moyer sells a couple of them too. What kind of
batteries are you charging?

The 60 amp Balmar I have fit the mounts just fine.
Here is a thread about installing it.

I only paid around $60 for it if I recall correctly. A new Balmar
is very expensive and probably not worth putting on an A4. Due to
the pulley ratios you are not likely to get more than 50-60 amps
out of any alternator you put on there.

Joe,
Also a bit of thread creep, but I'm in the process of rebuilding
or replacing my alternator on the A4. Does the Balmar fit on the
engine without significant modifications?
