The alternator is your car’s electrical charger. Signs that you might have a problem with your vehicle’s alternator include:

  • Poor light operation
  • Dead battery
  • Frequent bulb replacement
  • Dashboard warning lights.

Understanding the alternator…

The alternator is your car’s electrical charger. It generates direct current for recharging the battery. It also helps power the other electrical loads of your car.

The battery supplies power to the starter and ignition system. It also delivers the extra power needed when the electrical load exceeds the alternator’s supply.

If your battery is more than three years old, it’s a good idea to think about replacing it. Car-X Tire & Auto carries a variety of quality name-brand batteries.

The battery is the backbone of your vehicle’s electrical system. It supplies power to the starter and ignition system. It also delivers the extra power needed when the electrical load exceeds the alternator’s supply.
