I can give you the rough version. The mag creates it's own primary voltage the same way a generator does - very few volts - by the turning of an armature inside some magnets. This eliminates any need for a battery. The primary electrical charge is magified by a coil (internal) which is similar to an automotive coil. There are points and a condensor. Part of your tune up should include the inspection and/or replacement of the points and condensor. Curt
