Most people have the understanding that it is the battery that powers all the other electric mechanisms of their car, but that’s not true. On the contrary, the battery only powers the electric starter motor that starts your car. Once your car is running, the alternator takes over and generates enough energy to charge the battery and power the electrical systems.
In other words, the alternator acts like a generator of sorts for your car. The alternator is able to harness the power from your car engine as generated from the wheels and redirect it to the appropriate mechanisms to ensure your car runs effectively. As such, it is important to consider servicing your alternator in good time if you are not to run into any electrical system failures.
