Here’s what you need to know if you are looking for service on your car's starting and charging systems!
The battery, starting and charging systems are connected by a continual cycle of converting chemical energy to mechanical energy and then back again. The starter motor uses mechanical energy to crank the engine. The rotation of the engine drives the alternator, forcing electrical energy into a battery, where it's stored as chemical energy. The chemical energy of the battery is then changed back to electrical energy when it supplies current to the starter motor and accessories. The cycle repeats itself as the engine's mechanical energy again drives the alternator to recharge the battery so it can supply more current to the starter when needed.
Things to watch out for:
- Make sure your battery rating meets at least the minimum cranking amperage (CA or CCA) requirement for your vehicle
- Even today maintenance free batteries need periodic inspection & cleaning to ensure proper operation
- The fan/alternator or serpentine belt on your vehicle is an integral part of the charging system. Belts should be inspected for signs of wear and proper adjustment
- Loose or corroded cable ends may prevent your battery from maintaining a full state of charge
- Heat causes more damage to batteries than cold weather, but starting a vehicle in cold winter weather puts more strain on it
