ALTERNATOR & REGULATOR

The alternator, or AC generator, produces alternating current that powers electrical accessories and charges the battery. Diodes change the electricity into the usable form of direct current that is required by the accessories.

The regulator controls, or regulates, the amount of voltage sent to the battery and electrical accessories by the alternator. The regulator prevents overcharging the battery or sending high voltage that could damage electrical components.
