Alternators

What is an Alternator?

An alternator is a generator that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is driven by a belt that is connected to your vehicle's engine, and it generates electricity by using a magnetic field to convert the mechanical motion of the engine into electrical current.

Alternators are designed to provide a steady flow of electrical power to your vehicle's electrical system, even at low engine speeds. They also help to recharge your vehicle's battery while you're driving, ensuring that it has enough power to start your vehicle when you turn the key.
