An alternator supplies the power to run the vehicle electronics, ignition, lights etc and to charge the battery.
The battery has to deal with a huge power drain when starting. The alternative is a generator.
An alternator is a spinning magnet surrounded by a coil of wire, a generator is usually a magnetic field with a spinning coil of wire.

When vehicle is in static position, using the electric devices absorb much current. So we say the alternator is meant to convert mechanical energy to electric energy in other to recharge the battery when the engine is start.
