Volvo 544 Starting & Charging

Introduced in 1958, the Volvo 544 was a modern version of the aging PV444. The main visual difference between these two models was a larger convex windshield instead of the previous one having a split window design; also, the rear window was wider to provide better visibility. The interior became roomier, and 5 passengers could seat in the 544. The new model was offered with a larger 1.8L I4 engine and a 4-speed manual gearbox, though the older 1.6L motor and 3-speed transmission remained available. In 1962, Volvo superseded the 6-volt electrical system with the 12-volt one, following the standard which remains valid nowadays.

In the late 1950s, the Volvo 544 was a cutting-edge model comprising many features that became widely spread all over the world afterwards. Now, it's a vintage vehicle requiring special care to keep the most critical systems in good condition including the starting and charging system.
