The device that Jeep Compass has in common with many other Jeeps is an alternator which is used to maintain the charge in the car battery and to power all the electric devices in the car while it is in motion. This alternator works in such a manner that mechanical energy produced in the engine is changed to electrical energy in the form of AC then after going through a rectifier circuit it is changed into DC. It is usually a two part cast aluminum which consist of a rotor and stater and contains other parts such as voltage regulator/rectifier assembly. In the years of its production, the Jeep Compass has incorporated various alternators that include high output for those automobiles with a high electrical load because of additional installations of parts. The major difference between these alternators is the type of excitation used which may be through permanent magnets or through field coils as well as the cooling system that is used. Such flexibility asymptotically guarantees that the Jeep Compass alternator deliver power that suits the varying models and settings.
