The Mazda 2 Alternator provides a reliable supply of power to all circuits and ensures that the battery is in good health and the drive is enjoyable despite the use of the headlights, stereo and climate controls simultaneously. The rotor is wrapped in a rugged two-piece aluminum shell, rotates on low-friction bearings and has a built-in rectifier that immediately converts raw alternating current into smooth direct current, which modern electronics yearn to have. Its long service life is admired by owners as it has earned a reputation because the front pulley, internal cooling fan and sealed bearings resist heat, dust and vibration that destroy other cheaper charging systems. Later versions of the 2 have the Alternator also talking to the Powertrain Control Module, thus enabling accurate control of voltage to improve fuel economy by minimizing parasitic drag when the demand is small. Previous Mazda models combine an external regulator but still maintain the same dimensions, which have been proved to be backward compatible with the first, second and current generation models without any complex retrofitting. Regardless of whether it is mounted on a spirited hatch or the new sedan, the Alternator will always supply dependable amperage to airbags, ABS pumps, steering assist motors and infotainment screens, so important safety and comfort functions never falter or drop off. Since it is optimized to the specific engine speeds and part loads of each Mazda 2 platform, replacing a worn unit with a factory replacement unit will restore factory charging efficiency and maintain warranty-friendly performance. Drivers also like the way Mazda engineering repositioned the voltage regulator into the central computer of the second generation cars to reduce weight and wiring and to enhance durability and ease of diagnosis.
