Hi,
My car struggled to start when the winter set in so i replaced the battery. A coulpe of months later my alternator seized solid. When i took it off it was seized completely and the casing was cracked in several places. I replaced it two weeks ago but today after 300 miles or so the new one has seized??? Coincidence or could there be an excessive electrical load for some reason?

electrical load will not cause seizure ? .. check belt's are not to tight/slack and correctly aligned ?
