The alternator is a vital component that converts mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy. It generates alternating current (AC) which is then transformed into direct current (DC) to charge the vehicle battery and power electrical systems when the engine is running. These systems include headlights, dashboard electronics, infotainment systems, and most importantly, the ignition system that keeps the engine running.

The belt that goes on the alternator is commonly referred to as the serpentine belt or alternator belt. This component is usually made from a durable rubber material, designed to endure the rigorous conditions under the hood of a car. The design of the serpentine belt allows it to run multiple accessories, including the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and air conditioning compressor, all while taking up less space than traditional multi-belt systems. The efficiency of this single belt makes it an indispensable part of modern vehicles.
