Alternator

The alternator produces electricity and converts the alternating current (AC) to a direct current (DC). Each alternator is individually configured to match a vehicle’s electrical system requirements – including intensity and charging levels. In addition, this allows for a sufficient flow of electrical energy to the battery to support its recharging capabilities. The alternator will also maintain enough voltage to power the accessories and other components of the car.

However, a problem may occur at times and result in the car battery over or undercharging. The alternator will then need servicing from a team of experts who can rectify the issue and re-establish the functionality of your alternator.
