  An automobile battery provides sufficient amount of energy to the electrical components in the automobile such as wipers, starting motor and head lights. However, the capacity of this battery is limited and it is incapable of supplying continuous power to the automobile for an extended period of time. Thus, it is of utmost importance to keep the battery fully charged in order to supply an uninterrupted flow of electricity to each of the electrical components at the required time. The automobile consequently requires a charging system that helps to produce the required level of electricity, thereby keeping the battery in a fully charged condition. Two basic types of charging systems have been in use for automotive charging. DC generators were in use previously, which were discontinued in the 1960s. Since then, the AC alternator has been the charging device of predominant use. However, both DC generator and AC alternator use the similar operating principles. Automotive Charging Sys...
