All the electrical energy used by your Mitsubishi Eclipse is produced by the mechanical action of the engine - which of course, is powered by gasoline, which in turn is the remnants of the sugars stored by ancient plants that originally absorbed the sunlight...so what Einstein said is true. Energy is neither created nor destroyed - it simply changes its form. The fact remains, however that - at least for the time being - our cars and their electrical devices cannot use sunlight directly.

When it comes to lights, horns, and wipers - not to mention the spark that ignites the fuel in the cylinders - it is the Mitsubishi Eclipse Alternator that converts mechanical energy into usable electric current. Electrical energy not required for system components right away is stored in the battery, which is what allows you to start the car in the morning or leave the headlights on when the engine is shut off.

A modern Mitsubishi Eclipse Alternator can produce twice the electric energy as the old-time generator on your grand-dad's old LaSalle. Now, there's no reason to panic if the needle of the gauge on your dashboard flips over to the "minus" sign, indicating the Mitsubishi Eclipse Alternator is not charging. Chances are good that it's no more than a loose or broken fan belt, which is easy to repair. Even if the alternator itself has become defective or damaged, there's usually enough electric energy stored in the battery to get you home(as long as there's daylight out).When you reach your house, visit us online for the lowest prices service - you could even qualify for free shipping and credit toward your purchase by returning your old unit to us.
