What’s the difference between alternators and generators?
Both components can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Alternators, in particular, can only produce AC electricity. Generators, on the other hand, can produce both AC and DC currents. However, alternators are more efficient compared to generators, as they conserve more energy and don't require polarization after installation.
What are the signs of a faulty car generator?
One of the first signs of a faulty car generator is difficulty starting the car. If it takes several times to power your engine or your car battery becomes discharged even if newly installed, your engine generator might be compromised. Always check if your battery light is illuminated to know if you need to replace your battery or engine generator.
