A battery charging system for a road vehicle has a permanent magnet alternator with at least three separate single phase windings, as distinct from the usual three-phase winding. Each of the separate windings is connected to a pair of supply lines through a pair of diodes and a pair of thyristors, each winding having its own pair of diodes and pair of thyristors. The thyristors are controlled in accordance with the battery voltage.
