It's not the battery you have to worry about it is the alternator. it should handle an average amp and sub woofer.
only until the battery dies
No, the starter is usually for help starting your car along with your battery. If your car is stalling chack all your spark plugs and wires. If that doesn't work your alternator might not be working. Starters help your car START.
To replace the alternator on a 1995 Honda Civic disconnect the battery. Disconnect the wiring from the alternator. Loosen the adjustment bracket so the belt has slack. Remove the alternator belt along with the mounting hardware. Pull the alternator and replace it.
Is the alternator actually working. It is possible to buy a new alternator that is defective.
The most common cause for your 1997 Honda Civic lights to dim is a bad alternator. The alternator is not charging the battery. The battery retains a small charge, but not enough charge to run the engine.
The charging warning light should automatically reset if the battery is disconnected. Check the battery cables and ensure they are properly connected. Also check the alternator connections. If the light is still on there may be a problem with the new alternator.
hey, this is a easy answer? (NO)! why would you time it?? all it does is charge the battery!
The hybrids don't have an alternator.
Disconnect the batery cable from the battery while the vehicle is running, if it dies, you need a new alternator there, buddy.
Take it to auto zone and have the battery and alternator checked out free.
There is a problem with the charging system. More than likely the alternator is failing.
