Reserve Capacity duration for which battery can deliver 25 A at 27 C with ending cell voltage of 1.75 V or better.
10. Sizing Batteries Starting loads provide the greatest demand to battery charge.
Charging systems must be able to recharge battery in time for next starting cycle.
Energy efficiency of a battery is the ratio of discharge energy to charging energy for most batteries this is 75%.
11. Charging Systems Engine driven alternator with integral voltage regulator
Stationary coils (stator) with rotating coil (rotor).
Claw pole is the most common design.

14. Diode Bridge Positive current from stator flows from terminal C of bridge to A
Blocked from flowing to terminal B
Only positive current flows through
Negative current is returned to stator
When driven with negative current, current flows from terminal D upwards to B

DC current with significant ripple
Three sets of poles, spaced 120 degrees apart, are utilized to smooth ripple.

18. Alternator Sizing Alternator performance curves can be utilized for sizing.
Alternator must be capable of meeting the long-term load demands, plus recharging the battery.
Long-term load demands include: fuel pump, head lamps, work lamps, instrument panels, control systems, and battery charging.

Engagement mechanism with spur gear
Spur gear to ring gear ratio of 10:1 to 15:1 is common
Gear reduction if necessary some starters utilize a planetary reduction to increase torque

24. Starter Motor Typical DC motor design with field coils, armature, and brushes
Field windings are either series-wound or shunt-wound.
Series-wound motors have high locked-rotor/low-speed torques.
Change-over relay is required in 24 V starter circuits.

27. Starter Selection Considerations Engine torque is a function of
Engine must rotate at 80-200 rpm without starting aid, and 60-140 rpm with starting aid.
Maximum voltage drop trough battery cables should not exceed 0.1 V for 12 V systems and 0.17 V for 24 V systems.

29. Staring Circuits Safety interlocks to prevent inadvertent starting when shields have been removed or when the transmission is in gear.
Design should discourage or prevent electrical connections at starter motor solenoid or starter relay to prevent operators from being run over.

32. Lighting Work lights illuminate surfaces that must be seen in the dark to permit vehicle operation.
Incandescent and halogen lights are common, the latter is beginning to dominate the market.
High-intensity discharge systems are optional.
Light efficiency: incandescent 10-18 lm/W, halogen 22-26 lm/W, and gas discharge 85 lm/w.
33. Power Distribution Cable/wire sizing factors: mechanical strength, temperature rise, voltage drop, and connectors.
Minimum cable/wire size of 0.8 mm2 in harness or 1 mm2 for area susceptible to damage are recommended.
Also must consider requirements for abrasion resistance, bend strength and fluid resistance for battery and primary cable (SAE J1127 and J 1128.
