The alternator uses a new regulator which has three diodes. It consists of the delta stator, rectifier bridge,

slip ring and brush.

Charging time according to vehicle conditions and environment

Charging capacity: Charging a battery with a low-capacity charger takes longer time than charging with

a high-capacity charger.

Charging status: Charging a fully depleted battery takes twice or more as long as charging a half-

depleted battery. Since the electrolyte in a fully depleted battery consists of nearly pure water and

conductor, only a very small amount of current can be accepted by the battery initially. The charging

current increases as the amount of acids in the electrolyte is increased by the charging current.

Specification: Charging a fully depleted high-

capacity battery takes twice or more as long as

charging a fully depleted battery for small vehicles.

Temperature: The lower the temperature is, the

longer the time taken to charge the battery. When

connecting the battery charger to the cold battery,

the amount of current the battery can accept

initially is very small. As the battery gets warmer, it

can accept more current.
