Alternators in modern cars (if it’s not just a chip), or generators in classic cars. How do they regulate the voltage through high RPM and not overcharge the sytstem?
In: Engineering
I had a flat battery and when roadside assistance came to start it, he told me that it was the wrong type of battery.
Instead of lead acid, it was carbon carbon. My old Mercedes didn’t have the alternator to charge it properly, he recommended putting the battery on charge every couple of weeks to top it up.
I forgot exactly what he told me about modern alternators, something about ramping up the charge rate and then changing something else. Tbh I was more concerned with the ice cream that I had just bought melting.
