Honda Element High Output Alternators

Fold the rear seats up, throw down a mattress, and an Element becomes a small camper. Run a fridge, a fan and some lights overnight, though, and the battery takes a beating. A Honda Element high output alternator recharges that house load quickly on the next drive. This page covers 2003-2009 and 2010-2011 Elements with the 2.4L.

The Element as a Weekend Camper

Element owners build some of the cleverest small camper setups we see: a 12V fridge, a roof fan, string lights, USB charging, and often a second battery tucked behind a seat. Those loads run while the engine is off, so the alternator has to replace a lot of energy in a short drive to the next trailhead. A Honda Element high output alternator does that faster than a tired original unit, especially when it is charging an auxiliary battery as well.

Picking Output for Camp Power

Three outputs are listed for the Element: 170, 240 and 320 amp.

  • 170 amp: a fridge, lights and phone charging on a single battery.
  • 240 amp: a dual-battery camper setup with a fridge and a small inverter.
  • 320 amp: a larger inverter for cooking or power tools, or a camper build that also runs a full audio system.

Before you order a Honda Element high output alternator, set your year in the finder at the top of the page. The 2003-2009 Element and the 2010-2011 Element use different Mechman series, so your model year decides which units apply. All of them are Mechman high output alternators.

House Batteries, Wiring and Related Hondas

For a house battery, look at our lithium batteries or AGM batteries, and run proper cable from our amp wiring kits, starting with the Big 3. A battery monitor makes it easy to see how much the alternator puts back on each drive. The early Element alternator series is shared with other models: CR-V owners have their own page, and so do Acura TSX drivers. You can also browse the full Honda and Acura alternator range.
