How does your engine start and stay charged?

These components of your engine are vital for it to work properly. The battery of each vehicle holds the power to start the engine. The charging system directs the energy through the electrical system while simultaneously keeping the battery charged. The charging system’s main components consist of the alternator and voltage regulator. The starting system sends power from the battery to the starter motor which turns the engine to start the internal combustion process.

Every part of the starting and charging system is important. Without all the links of these systems functioning, the engine will not start or work right. Your car also relies on a correctly operating battery. Car batteries are made to last, on average, 5 years or less in extremely hot climates. Replacing your battery about every 4 years can help prevent worse damages to your vehicle and expensive repairs.
