Well before the dawn of 20th century , the auto manufactures had developed such voltage regulators which controlled charging voltages for the lead batteries used in the cars or buses . These regulators were of such design that as soon as the battery started achieving charge , the charging current started going down . This was to protect the charging dynamo from over loading as well as to protect the battery from over charging ( over heating ! ) . This technology is well over 140 years old or so . I wonder what did the Aviators ( engineers and managers ) learn in all these years !
