Turning over the engine to start the cart and act as a key link in getting the battery charged.
The starter has enough current to crank the engine.
The generator converts the alternating current to direct current and recharges the battery.
The starter generator is an electric motor that runs on the voltage drawn from the cart’s battery.
After igniting and cranking the engine, when the starter generator is spinning at over 1200rpm, it starts converting the AC it produces to DC to regenerate the battery.
The battery regeneration part involves the starter generator brushes, Solenoid and Voltage Regulator.
The solenoid has to remain energized at all times to ensure that the return path via voltage regulator to the battery remains open.
This return path is the route through which the current is returned to the battery to recharge it while the cart is running.
