Alternator is the device to charge the battery of your vehicle. As long as your engine is running, the alternator charges your battery continuously, and during this charging, a certain amount of power is constantly spent on the alternator.


WHAT IS ALTERPOWER?

Alterpower is a system that deactivates the alternator connection at times when you need power, and regains 2 to 6 hp from your engine.


HOW ALTERPOWER WORKS?

When you press the accelerator pedal more than 75%, Alterpower takes over and deactivates the alternator connection, so your engine does not have to supply power to the alternator to charge the battery, making the power required for the alternator to work.


So what happens when the battery is not charged?

Alterpower is a device designed to meet your instant power needs only, so it only works when you press the gas more than 75%. When you are in city traffic, while traveling at long speed at constant speed, that is, you do not need performance, your alternator is constantly activated and you continue to charge your battery, when you come to the ground, you press the gas pedal to the end, and then Alterpower comes into play and gives you extra power.


SYSTEM SAFETY

A charged battery can last for about 20 minutes without charging, but Alterpower automatically disconnects when your battery is low due to any reason (even if you do full throttle), allowing the system to recharge the battery again. In other words, all kinds of safety have been considered in Alterpower, the charge amount of the battery can be observed completely electronically and charging can be continued when necessary.


How much power does ALTERPOWER gain?

There are alternators of different capacities in different vehicles, there are low capacity alternators in old cars, and new cars with higher electrical requirements and higher capacity alternators.
Depending on the structure of your vehicle, Alterpower provides 2 to 6 hp extra power. New generation cars see about 3-4 hp power increase
