Correct answer

  • BEvitar que la batería se descargue rápidamenteTo stop the battery from running down quickly
Explanation

The battery would run down in little more than an hour from the use of the car's various electrical devices. To prevent this, the vehicle has a charging system, which puts back into the battery the energy used, by means of a generator (alternator or dynamo) driven by the crankshaft.
