Correct answer
- BEl sistema de carga.The charging system.
The battery is the part of the electrical system that allows the engine to be started and supplies power to the vehicle's electrical equipment. It needs maintenance by the user: even with so-called maintenance-free batteries, you need to check that the terminals are clean, tight and covered in grease. The charging system gives the vehicle the electrical power it needs while the engine is running. When the system fails (faulty alternator, broken or loose belt, etc.), a warning light comes on on the dashboard to show that it is not charging enough.
