Class on an automotive course where the Trainer Model for Instructional Automotive Charging System is being used
The "Trainer Model for Instructional Automotive Charging System with Automatic Voltage Regulator and Integrated Circuits" or the "Autocharge" is an updated, affordable, and safe-to-use instructional trainer model for teaching automotive charging systems.

Autocharge seeks to address this gap by providing hands-on practice on automotive charging systems conveniently with reduced cost. Its charging system contains two circuits: an Integrated Circuit and an Automatic Voltage Regulator Circuit. It comes with an instructional manual and training sessions with instructors.
