2003 frd f150 it came with an alarm system the alarm started to go crazy it would activate the alarm every 30 mins you found out the battery on the truck had low voltage can that have caused it?

A dead cell in the battery can certainly cause problems, have the battery tested along with the rest of the charging system. It could be that the battery is just old and tired. On the other hand, if the charging system isn't working right the battery will not be able to store enough current. Remember that a battery is just a storage device that holds a large amount of electrical energy so that you can start the engine. The battery is a chemical device and like all things in this world, they do wear out. A charging system test will certainly tell you what's going on.

What is the voltage difference in battery caused by?
Chemical energy is converted into Electrical Energy. Cause: Oxidation , ions
When battery charger was hooked to the battery the plastic on the terminal started to melt what was the cause of this?
Too much current was flowing which caused an overheating problem. Can be the battery has a dead cell, or you reversed the cables.
Why do your 1996 olds 88 makes clicking sound when trying to start it?
Low voltage from the battery, can be caused by a faulty battery or an alternator that isn't functioning properly. Bad starter Corroded battery connections or other electrical connections.
Your 1996 Ford Explorer LTD starts but won't stay running unless it's over 1500rpms loses voltage anyone got any suggestions?
loss of voltage is caused by;loose fan beltbad alternatorbad voltage regulatorloose battery connections
Lights flicker on dashboard and headlights after replacing battery on 2003 pt cruiser what causes this?
it is caused by the alternator voltage regulator switching on and off to charge the battery, this problem is encountered on many makes of car, you may not of noticed it before prior to exchanging the battery.
I replaced the starter and battery one year ago and now they are bad again caused by failure of what?
Check Voltage regulator----Maybe overcharging battery. Both shortening life cycle and allowing too much voltaqe to starter
What would cause a ecm to go bad on a 1987 Chevy Celebrity?
As with many electronic devices they can merely fail over time. I have heard it said that jumping the battery can cause the ECM to fail, I don't know that to be true. Too high a battery voltage could cause failure of the ECM. That might be caused by the alternator putting out too much voltage when charging the battery.
What is the voltage drop using?
Voltage drop is caused by circuit resistance
When you turn your light on the battery meter goes low on your ford F150 what should you check you have a new alt and voltage and battery is charging?
check for proper grounding, bad wiring. Check voltage with a voltmeter in different places to see where you are losing it. Alternator, battery, at the headlight connection, fuse box & relay (if applicable). could also be caused by belt slippage, or lights with a higher wattage than recommended.
Why does a battery not work even though it has a volt reading?
A battery may have a small voltage potential but not the "CAPACITY" to deliver amperage. For instance if you were to measure the voltage at the battery terminals with a Volt/Ohm meter (VOM), you would get a reading of say 12+ volts. As soon as you turn something on such as a headlight or heater motor, the voltage drops down or goes to 0 volts, you would have a battery that is bad or under capacity. It also could be caused by a "BAD CONNECTION" such as a loose battery post clamp. It is critical that when you test a battery, you test it at the battery posts themselves without the cables attached to rule out a bad connection. This is done with a battery load tester. As many people do not have the equipment to test a battery, batteries can be tested at many automotive parts retail outlets across the country for a free charge.
Battery symbol light 1997 Chevy truck dash?
The battery symbol light indicates that, for whatever reason, the electrical system in the vehicle is not being supplied with the proper voltage. This is often caused by a malfunctioning battery or alternator. Since the battery is the easiest to remove and replace and is most prone to failure it is recommended that you have the battery checked. This can be done, usually for free, at any auto-parts store.
What causes a car battery to bulge?
The bulging is caused by gassing. This is caused by overcharging or by a short circuit inside the battery. The acid inside the battery is turned to gas and it expands the sides of the battery.
