alternators

Automotive charging devices

Alternators are electrical generators that produce alternating current, most commonly the device in a vehicle that charges the battery and powers electrical systems while the engine runs.

The alternator converts mechanical rotation into electrical energy.

A failing alternator causes dimming lights and a dead battery: The mechanic said I need a new alternator.
