Battery

It converts the chemical energy to the
electrical energy and supplies power to the
corresponding electric units when starting the
engine.

1. OVERVIEW

The charge system is designed to supply electrical energy to the vehicle while driving, and supplies a

constant direct current voltage by converting mechanical rotational movement to electrical energy. The

voltage regulator on the back of the alternator controls the generated voltage in all rotating ranges and

adjusts the system voltage according to the electric load and ambient temperature change.

Body ground

B+ wiring

Alternator

The alternator charges the battery and
supplies power to each electric unit by
converting the mechanical energy to the
electrical energy.
