Battery vs Alternator
Hey guys,
I was speaking to some people today and I got some conflicting opinions. I'm hoping you guys can clarify!
1. Some people argued that the aircraft's electrical systems are powered directly by the battery, while the alternator is simply there to reenergize the battery and to prevent it from dying.
2. Others argued that the battery is only used during starting and as a back-up power source. The alternator(s) are driven by the engines and they produce and directly supply the electrical systems with their energy.
