Your vehicle's charging system is how your ignition gets the power to turnover. A fully-charged battery can provide the starter motor with a current to start the engine, but after multiple years on the road, the battery does tend to wear down.
The charging system keeps a charge in your battery and delivers electrical energy for the radio, lights, and other components while the car runs. The alternator, battery, wiring, and electronic control unit (ECU) are the main components of the modern charging system. Older cars may have a regulator, but that is now part of the car's computer in modern cars.
Your vehicle's starting system consists of the electric starter motor and a starter solenoid. Turning your key in the ignition activates the starting system by transmitting power from the battery to the starter solenoid. The starter solenoid activates the starter motor and spins the engine a few times to turn it on. Charging systems supply electrical energy to power your vehicle while running and sustain the battery's charge. Your vehicle's charging system consists of the battery, the alternator, and the voltage regulator. The battery supplies the necessary electrical power to start your engine. The alternator generates the electrical currents to power the electrical components in the car, while the regulator controls the voltage of the currents. The voltage regulator also ensures the battery stays fully charged. When the battery loses its charge, the voltage regulator will signal the alternator to recharge the battery.
Turning the key in your ignition and only receiving a click, a choking sound, or silence is a dreadful feeling. So your vehicle's startup needs to be automatic and dependable every time you get behind the wheel. Our team promises this with our routine charging system maintenance services.
Sometimes you may not have a problem with your battery, alternator, or starter. Rather, the problem could be the connection to one of these components. For example, we often discover corrosion on the battery terminal ends that can lead to your vehicle failing to start properly. This can be an immediate fix we usually get done within the day.
Our certified technicians will locate any issues like these during your routine maintenance. In addition, we can perform accurate tests that will let you know the actual condition of your battery, alternator, and starter. Then, we can perform a service that will remove any unexpected corrosion and help prevent it from developing in the future. If corrosion isn't caught and eliminated, it can ruin not just your vehicle's battery but also the battery cables and terminal ends that connect to the battery.
