What is the Function of an Alternator?

The alternator is a very important part of any car’s electrical system. 

When the vehicle is running, the alternator converts the kinetic energy from the engine into an electric current. This current is then used to recharge the car battery, and it also powers all of your car’s electrical consumers and comfort systems.  

What are the Symptoms of a Bad Alternator?

A defective alternator will show some symptoms before it completely fails. Once you're able to notice these common broken alternator symptoms, you'll be able to get it replaced or fixed before it dies completely.

• Battery warning indicator light comes on - Simple indication of a failing alternator
• Dead battery - Sometimes a battery comes to its end of life. But a dead battery could also be a sign that it's taking up the slack of a broken alternator that can't provide enough electricity for the car
• Dim, flickering or overly bright lights - A possible indicator of a failing alternator as lights get brighter on high RPMs, and dim on low RPMs
• Strange noises such as grinding or whining - Grinding suggests bearings have failed and whining noises coming from the voltage regulator
• Difficulty starting and frequent stalling - Due to a broken alternator not charging the battery properly
• Burning smell from wires or rubber - These strange smells indicated a failing or overheated alternator
• Car applications working slowly - For example, if your electric windows or heated seats aren't working properly

If a part of the alternator fails, then the battery won’t recharge, meaning the car won’t start. The electrical and lighting systems will also fail. 

So, it’s really very important to keep the alternator and all its components in top condition. We stock replacements for every part of the system, including the alternator regulator, pulley, freewheel clutch, carbon brushes, belt guard and tensioning bolt.
