A battery terminal lug () is disclosed, the lug being equipped with a shunt () for measuring the battery current and other battery characteristics. The lug includes a support (), such as for a printed circuit, of at least one electronic component. The lug is made up of a first part (), which is configured to be secured to a terminal of the battery, and a second part, which is configured to be secured to the cable of the battery (which is ordinarily directly associated with the terminal of the battery). The two parts () of the terminal lug are electrically insulated from one another and are provided with projecting portions () to bear the shunt (), and a casing () to accommodate the shunt () and the support (), wherein electrical insulation () is positioned so as to intervene between the two parts () of the terminal lug ().

An alternator for a vehicle comprises two pole pieces having interlaced poles () and magnets, the poles exhibiting grooves profiled along an axis () and accommodating the magnets, the profile completely preventing the magnets escaping from the grooves in a plane perpendicular to the axis (). It has, for each magnet (), a strip () interposed between one face () of the magnet and at least one of the grooves (), the strip () being produced from a material which is less hard than the magnet.
