5 mẹo phòng tránh hư hỏng máy phát điện ô tô

However, taking care of and preventing damage to the generator not only helps prolong its life but also ensures the stable operation of the entire electrical system in the car. Below are some "tips" to help you protect the "power plant" of your "beloved car":

Limit the use of too many electrical devices at the same time

Generators have limited capacity. Using too many electrical devices at the same time such as air conditioners, headlights, large sound systems, etc. will create excessive pressure on the generator, leading to overload and damage.

Advice:

• Prioritize using electrical appliances that are really necessary.
• Limit the use of high power consuming devices for long periods of time.

Turn off electrical appliances when not in use

Many people often have the habit of leaving the car lights, air conditioner, radio, etc. on even when leaving the car. This not only drains the battery but also puts an additional burden on the generator when the car is restarted.

Advice:

• Turn off all electrical appliances before leaving the vehicle.
• Double check before locking the vehicle to ensure no devices are running.

Start the car properly

Improper starting of the vehicle can also affect the life of the alternator.

Advice:

• Do not "start" the machine for too long or continuously.
• Wait for the dashboard lights to go out before driving.

Regular battery maintenance

Batteries and generators are closely related. A weak or damaged battery will affect the operation of the generator and vice versa..

Advice:

• Check and maintain the battery periodically according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Replace the battery when it has reached the end of its life.

Choose a reputable garage for car repair and maintenance

Repairing and maintaining your car at reputable garages will help you feel more secure about the quality of service and spare parts. This also helps protect the generator and other parts of the car.
