Mahle Alternators

As automobiles became more and more advanced after World War II, with increasingly potent engines and higher levels of amenities and comfort features, their power demands had also increased. Automotive alternators began to see widespread use during the 1960s, beginning with the 1960 model year Plymouth Valiant. Prior to this, DC dynamo generators were used to power automobiles. Alternators are responsible for recharging the battery and for providing the necessary electrical energy needed to operate headlamps, wipers, and other accessories. A failed alternator can lead to a dying or dead battery, which will then render the ignition and electrical system inoperable until the alternator is replaced and the battery is charged.
