In-Depth E-Learning Course On Charging Systems And Starter Batteries

The basic function of the vehicle charging system

The charging system of a car comes with a set of components and subcomponents that work to give electrical energy to the electrical devices. The charging system of the car power the dashboard indicators lights, headlights, or warning lamps, fuses, engine plugs, relays, brainbox, control screen, ECU, radio, sensors, fuel injector system, etc. All the components of the charging system are interconnected to the battery which is charged through the alternator. The basic function of the charging system of an automobile engine is simple. It mainly works in the following ways:

• The primary function of the car charging system is to deliver power to the electrical components in a car

• The charging system mainly comprises alternator maintaining as well as keeping the battery charge of the vehicle

• The charging system mainly supplies current to the spark plugs, which ignite the mixture of fuel and air in the combustion chamber

• Alternators can charge dead batteries, while the car engine is running

• The charging system can send the engine mechanical problems to the ECU using a sensing device

• Electrical components of a vehicle are powered when the engine is stopped

What will you learn?

The vehicle electrical and charging system are interconnected with electric power management like batteries and wires. Inspecting the car battery and the condition of the charging system is always the starting point to fix car electrical systems. At Woodford, the automotive learning on vehicle charging systems include

• The charging system inspection

• Data analysis and measurement

• Alternator structure and its operation.

• Alternator control circuits & operation types.

• Starter battery inspection using various methods.

• Structure and operation of starter batteries.

• Battery chargers. The highlight of battery replacement

Through this module, you will clearly understand the basic operation of the charging systems.

At the beginning of the module, you will get familiar with the principle and operation of car charging systems. They learn the electrical & measuring technology. Apart from that, you will enhance your skills in troubleshooting and control circuit operation systems.
