Description of Starting, Charging & Batteries
Your vehicle’s starting and charging system is involved in regulating multiple electrical processes to
start your vehicle's engine and keep it running. The starting system consists of the battery, a starter
motor, and a starter solenoid responsible for starting the engine, while the charging system consists of
an alternator and voltage regulator. The charging system is responsible for routing energy throughout
the entire electrical process while sustaining the battery’s charge. The battery supplies the electric
power necessary to start the vehicle. This process starts when you turn the ignition. Then, the starting
system sends power from the battery to the starter solenoid to the starter motor, which turns the engine
in order to begin the internal combustion process. The alternator powers the other electrical components
in your vehicle while the regulator controls the voltage supplied to each component. The regulator also
ensures that the alternator maintains the battery’s charge so that the entire cycle can continue.
Benefits of Starting, Charging & Batteries
Slow cranking engines and dim headlights can sometimes point to a problem with your vehicle’s starting
and charging system. Because the battery is required for the electrical charge needed to start the rest
of the electrical system, a weak or dead battery can also prevent your car from starting. If a jump
start refuses to revive your battery and the starting system, our staff may need to take a closer look
at the other components of the starting and charging system to determine whether or not you need a
starter replacement or an alternator replacement. All components within your vehicle’s starting and
charging system are necessary to ensure proper working order, and one bad link between them can render
the entire electrical process useless. If you experience problems with starting your vehicle or
maintaining its power even after trying a jump start, then allow our service staff to perform a starting
and charging system check on your vehicle today.
