An alternator and battery hookup diagram typically shows the alternator connected to the battery with two main wires: a positive wire from the alternator's output terminal to the battery's positive terminal, and a negative wire from the alternator's housing to the battery's negative terminal or ground. Additionally, there may be a connection from the alternator to the vehicle's electrical system to power accessories. It's important to include a voltage regulator in the setup, which controls the output of the alternator to prevent overcharging the battery. Always ensure proper wiring to prevent electrical faults.
