OK, George- here's some data:
 
I have had NO failures on my B&C and Mike's had FIVE on his whatever else-
Not opinion, FACT.  Maybe not a big sample, but I've yet to hear of a B&C alternator failure on this forum or anywhere else for that matter.  Have YOU?
 
Mark Phillips- do not archive and NO- B&C got MY money and paid me NOTHING to say this...

I have an over the counter nippondenso alt (89$) and a b&c alternator (more$) on different aircraft, both with several hundred hours of trouble free operation. Does this mean they are equal in reliability??? Everything has a failure rate….is it possible there is no data to support their claims because they haven’t conducted and published endurance and destructive test results in a controlled environment? Maybe some comparative tests???  I’m not sure how to perform such tests, but is there any other way to prove or disprove anyone’s claims more conclusively than with hard data… that being said, will I put a b&c on my rv10?? Yes, I take comfort in knowing someone with experience has at least examined my alternator and is willing to put their name on it. I have no idea who rebuilt my autozone reman….
