Battery & Electrical Vehicle Performance

Did you know your automotive electrical system powers all the components in your vehicle? It powers your fuel system and ignition and even the accessories like your headlights, radio, and wipers. The electrical system receives power from the engine. Here are the three significant components of the electrical system:

Battery

When your car's engine is off, the battery provides the necessary power to the rest of the system and during start-up (cranking). It also supplements the energy from the charging system during periods of high usage.

Charging System

The electrical system's heart, the charging system consists of three main elements: the belt-driven alternator, various electrical circuits, and a voltage regulator. The alternator provides power to the electrical system and recharges the battery after your vehicle has started. Like it sounds, the voltage regulator controls the voltage, keeping it within the electrical system's operating range.

Starting System

The starting system uses more electrical power than any other in your vehicle. The starting system has three components that work together: the starter relay or solenoid, the ignition switch, and the starter motor. The ignition switch regulates the starter solenoid, which activates the starter motor. The starter motor then turns the engine until your vehicle starts.
