CHARGING SYSTEM
A vehicle has several components that are part of the charging system, these
components should be monitored to help prevent no start conditions.
- Battery - When
you car's engine is off, the battery provides the required power to
the rest of the system, as well as during start-up (cranking).
It also supplements the power from the charging system during periods
of high demand.
- Charging System - This
is the heart of the electrical system. It consists of three main
components: the belt-driven alternator, various electrical circuits,
and a voltage regulator. The alternator supplies power to the
electrical system and recharges the battery after your car has
started. Just like it sounds, the voltage regulator controls the
voltage, keeping it within the operating range of the electrical
system.
- Starting System - This
system consumes more electrical power then any other in your
car. The starting system consists of three components which work
in tandem: the ignition switch, the starter solenoid, which activates
the starter motor. The starter motor then turns the engine until
your car starts.
Key Benefits
- Battery Maintenance
- Staring & Charging System Inspections
- Cost Reduction.
