Charging system consists of the alternator, regulator (mounted inside the alternator) and the interconnecting wiring. The purpose of the charging system is to maintain the charge in the battery and to provide the main source of electrical energy while the engine is running. If the charging system stopped working, the battery's charge would soon be depleted .If the battery is weak and the alternator is not working, the engine may not have enough electrical current to fire the spark plugs, so the engine stops running. If the battery is "dead", it does not necessarily mean that there is anything wrong with it. It is just depleted of charge. It can be brought back to life by recharging it with a charger, or by running the engine so that the alternator can charge it. .The main component in the charging system is the alternator. The alternator is a generator that produces alternating current (ac), similar to the electrical current in your home. This current is immediately converted to direct current (dc) inside the alternator. This is because all modern automobiles have a 12 volt, dc electrical system. A voltage regulator regulates the charging voltage that the alternator produces, keeping it between 13.5 - 14.5 volts to protect the electrical components throughout the vehicle.There is also a system to warn the driver if something is wrong with the charging system. This could be a dash mounted voltmeter, an ammeter, or more commonly, a warning lamp. This lamp is variously labeled "gen" bat" and "alt.". If this warning lamp lights up while the engine is running, it means that there is a problem in the charging system. The most common cause is a broken alternator drive belt. The alternator is driven by a belt that is powered by the rotation of the engine. This belt goes around a pulley connected to the front of the engine's crankshaft and is usually responsible for driving a number of other components including the water pump, power steering pump and air conditioning compressor. On some engines, there is more than one belt and the task of driving these components is divided between them. These belts are usually referred to as: fan belt, alternator belt, drive belt, power steering belt, a/c belt, etc.
