Aftermarket Generators

Classic and vintage automobiles made before the mid 1960s used 6 volt generators. Some owners have opted to have their cars’ and trucks’ electrical systems converted to the contemporary 12 volt setup with an alternator, but many still prefer to keep their prized rides as original as the day they left the factory, including keeping the generator intact. The main difference between a generator and an alternator is that the wire armature spins inside the magnetic field for a generator while the magnetic field itself spins inside the stator of an alternator. Alternators use energy to charge the battery and produce energy when needed whereas generators produce energy at all times. Alternators, in a way, are more efficient than generators but some machines, even outside of classic and vintage cars, still make use of them. Some motorcycles, powersports vehicles, industrial machines, and farm equipment may still use a DC generator in place of an alternator.
