2008 Ford E350 New Alternator

Hello everyone my 08 Ford E350 has tbe battery light on and only charging between 12.8 and 13.8 and going to put new alternator on it. I can purchase a regular one I believes 130amp but wanted to get some opinions. What the difference between the stock one and these High Output Alternator can you put one of those on a van will it hurt the electrical system or battery? Also who makes the best remanufactured or preferably new alternators that last? Thanks

A bigger alternator might need a bigger wire to the battery. A second wire might be all you need.
