Editing Battery eliminator circuit (section)

== Vehicles ==
BECs are also used in some [[motorcycle]] and [[all-terrain vehicle|ATV]] applications to reduce the weight penalty involved in carrying a battery. The battery is typically replaced by one or more large but light-weight [[capacitor]]s which smooth out the fluctuating electrical pulses coming from the [[alternator]], without themselves generating power. As there is no electrical power source, electrical starters cannot be used.
