Tips for Car Battery Care

Car batteries are rechargeable, and it's a really good idea to carry jumper cables or a mobile car battery charging system in your car in case of emergencies. You never know when you will need to jump start your vehicle, or even assist another motorist in need. When your car battery has reached its lifespan, recycle it carefully. Car battery recycling can minimize the resources needed for producing new car batteries. When you recycle your car batteries, you can additionally stop dangerous chemicals from poluting landfills due to inappropriate disposal.

Your car's electrical system powers everything from the ignition and fuel systems to accessories such as your radio, headlights and wipers. The electrical system is, in turn, powered by the engine. Here are the three key components of the electrical system:

Battery

When your car's engine is off, the battery provides the required power to the rest of the system, as well as during start-up (cranking). It also supplements the power from the charging system during periods of high demand.

Charging System

This is the heart of the electrical system. It consists of three main components: the belt-driven alternator, various electrical circuits, and a voltage regulator. The alternator supplies power to the electrical system and recharges the battery after your car has started. Just like it sounds, the voltage regulator controls the voltage, keeping it within the operating range of the electrical system.

Starting System

This system consumes more electrical power than any other in your car. The starting system consists of three components which work in tandem: the ignition switch, the starter relay or solenoid, and the starter motor. The ignition switch controls the starter solenoid, which activates the starter motor. The starter motor then turns the engine until your car starts.
