Here's why:
* The alternator is a generator that converts mechanical energy (from the engine's rotation) into electrical energy.
* It provides the electrical power needed to run all the car's electrical systems, like the headlights, radio, engine control systems, and more.
* The battery acts as a temporary storage for electricity, providing power when the engine is off or the alternator isn't generating enough. The alternator charges the battery when the engine is running.
