What are some prices people have found for the new HO alternators or getting the stock one rewound?

It usually really runs about $1 an amp. But they have been known to go pretty cheap on ebay.

kinetik seem to be way cheaper than the xstatic, which is also a wicked battery. odyssey drycells are also up there on the list and a little less than the kinetik. and optima's are old school. good, but not the best choice.
