I hope not, it'll cook the 12 volt DC system.

How do you get a 12 volt pm alternator to give you 110 volt ac?
Purchase a power inverter.
Does 110 use direct current?
No. 110 volt is AC current
Will a 120 volt AC to 12 volt AC adapter charge a 12 volt car battery?
No, the battery is DC not AC.
Will a 120 volt AC to 12 volt AC adapter charge a car battery?
No, auto batteries are DC not AC.
How do you run a 12 volt automobile light on 110 ac?
No. The bulb will burn out.
When bad battery cause dc car voltage ok. cause ac volt on car running show what ac volt is ok?
Vehicles run DC. 13.5 - 14+ volts at battery is o/k. Shows alternator is charging but won't tell you amp output. If the battery is bad you will wear out the alternator as it trys to keep a bad battery charged (it will work itself to death)
Can you charge a 12 volt battery with a 14 volt alternator?
Yes. It is done all the time in automotive electrical systems. The alternator, which creates AC, has its current rectified using diodes.
I have the alternator just missing the wiring connection sheet how do you connect an alternator from a generator on a 12 volt system?
You wouldn't. Terminology wrong? An alternator is a generator that generates AC.
Will you save buying a 220 volt ac than a 110?
Yes, in the long run. The 220 volt unit will use less power.
Can you use 110 volt batteries charger here in Australia?
Not unless you have a 110 volt supply to plug it in to. The standard General Power Outlet in Australia is 240 volts AC at 50 Hertz.
Does a motor car emit ac or dc?
The engine itself emits nothing. The alternator does. The alternator emits AC, but it is converted to DC.
Is there a device that can be plugged into a vehicles cigarette lighter that you can plug an electrical chord into?
Yes there is. They are not commonly available. The device is called an "inverter". In a solar cell installation on a house, the solar cells produce direct current (DC) and charge batteries, such as 12 volt batteries. The inverter then converts the 12 volt DC power to 110 volts AC, or house current. In a car, you need to take 12 volts DC from the battery and convert it into 110 volt AC power, to plug in say a household apppliance. You would need to go to a car accessories company (look for one on the web). A caution: since you are converting 12 volts to110 volts, the current drawn from the car will be about 9 times as many amperes as the AC current rating on the 110 volt household appliance. For any sizeable appliance, this will over-tax the current capacity of the cigarette lighter. First, the fuse in the car will blow. If you intend to use a 110 volt appliance regularly from a car, then you can buy a large inverter that can be mounted in the car and wired to the battery. Depends on what kind of appliance you are trying to run.
