WAI 11896N Alternator

WAI 11896N Alternator for Nissan Kicks

The WAI 11896N is a 120-amp alternator built for Nissan Kicks charging-system service. It uses a Mitsubishi family design with an internal regulator, internal fan, and clockwise rotation to match the listed application requirements.

Key Features

• 120-amp amperage rating for modern electrical loads
• 100% new construction, not remanufactured
• Internal fan and internal voltage regulator
• Clockwise rotation with a 6-groove serpentine pulley
• Decoupled or clutch pulley included
• Direct-fit style for 2017-2020 Nissan Kicks applications

Detailed Description

WAI builds this alternator to deliver the output needed for vehicles with higher electrical demand. The 11896N follows a Mitsubishi family configuration and includes the pulley, making it a practical replacement for charging-system repairs on the Nissan Kicks. It cross-references Dixie Electric Ltd 11896 for the same application. This part number, 11896N, is also referenced against OE-style numbers 23100-5RA1B and 23100-5RD0A for the listed fitment.

Compatible With 2017-2019 Nissan Kicks and 2020 Nissan Kicks built to 10/2019, this alternator supports the factory-style serpentine belt setup and internal regulation used on these vehicles. The WAI 11896N is a focused replacement choice when the original alternator no longer maintains proper charging output.

What It Helps Address

• Battery warning light caused by low charging output
• Dim headlights or unstable electrical performance
• Battery drain from a failing alternator
• Charging-system noise related to pulley or bearing wear
• Intermittent accessory operation from insufficient amperage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley alignment, belt condition, and electrical connector fit before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 2017-2019 Nissan Kicks or a 2020 Nissan Kicks built to 10/2019, since the fitment note is specific to that production window. Check charging voltage after installation to confirm the system is operating within specification.

Quality Assurance

WAI states that its alternators are engineered for the amperage output required by today’s vehicles and are manufactured as new units using proprietary components and processes to support service life and performance.
