The battery is constantly being charged by the alternator as long as the engine is running. The alternator is driven by a fan belt or serpentine belt and provides a consistent steady flow of direct current of around 14 or 15 volts. The amount of voltage is kept steady even at varying engine revolutions by a voltage regulator.
