Vehicle Starting, Charging & Batteries
Vehicle Starting, Charging & Batteries Your car’s starting, charging system & battery help ensure dependable vehicle operation whenever you drive your car. What does it do? The battery stores electrical energy and the starter converts that energy into mechanical force to turn the engine for starting.

An ignition module turns the low voltage supply to the ignition coil on & off, and the coil produces the high voltage for the ignition system. This creates a spark at spark plugs and ignite the air/fuel mixture in the engine. A belt then transmits power from the front of the engine to the alternator pulley, along with other accessories. What Wear & Tear can you expect? … Continue reading
