A reliable vehicle depends upon the starting and charging systems to work together in harmony. These two systems should be
checked regularly by an auto electrical repair mechanic so you don't find yourself stranded with a car that won't run due to a failing alternator
and a dead battery.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the purpose of alternators, starters and batteries below. The next time your
mechanic says your vehicle is due for auto electrical repair, you will understand what it means.
- Alternators: formerly called electric generators, are mainly used for recharging batteries. An alternator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy which in turn produces an alternating current.
- Batteries: store electrical energy, used to power the electrical loads (power accessories) of vehicles.
- Starters: convert the energy stored in the battery into mechanical force that turns the engine when starting.
The primary function of alternators is to replace the electric current that the starter used up to start your car. It
also supports the electrical loads for the accessories. Simply stated, alternators, starters, and batteries should work together in harmony to ensure
a car that starts every time!
