Electrical Systems - Alternator, Battery, Starter

Today’s automobile electrical systems, including the alternator, battery, and starter, are all key components to get a vehicle to turn the engine and drive safely. Without a properly working electrical system, your vehicle has a high chance of breaking down unexpectedly while commuting around Fullerton, Anaheim, and North Orange County. The next time your headlights or dashboard lights look dim, it takes longer for your engine to turn, or you drain your battery power faster than expected, bring your vehicle in to Fisk Automotive for a full electrical system, alternator, battery and starter inspection.

Today’s automobile electrical systems are getting more intricate and are stressing the limits of current technology, but they are generally designed from the same principles used 30-plus years ago. The battery is the vehicle’s power storage device used to start the engine and help operate the electrical accessories installed on your car. Average battery life has become shorter as energy requirements have increased. Lifespan depends on usage, which now averages 6 months to 48 months, yet only 30% of all batteries actually reach the 48-month mark.

Whenever a car’s electrical system exhibits symptoms of a charging or starting system failure, the most basic test that should be performed first is a visual and voltage test of the car battery. Once the exact condition of the battery is known, then it is easier to discover which system components may or may not be working properly, such as the fuses, starter, or alternator.
