Most automobiles built since 1960 have an alternator (alternating current generator), driven by a belt off the crankshaft. The AC voltage is converted to DC by a solid-state diode bridge built into the unit. The current charges the battery and powers all the electrical devices in the car while the engine is running. When the engine is turned off, power comes from the battery.
