Can running a new alternator on a half charged battery cause damage to either the battery new alternator voltage regulator etc?
Not likely, but running the engine with a dead battery can damage some alternators. Always fully charge the battery when installing an alternator.
Your alternator and battery both tested good but the battery is not being charged?
Most likely cable running from stud on top of alternator to battery terminal is corroded or broken.
Does leaving the car on but not driving it anywhere drain the battery?
If the engine is running, then no. The alternator constantly keeps the battery charged.
Why is your car not starting and the battery keeps dying?
Possibly a bad alternator. The Alternator charges the battery when the vehicle is running. If the battery is not being charged this could cause the vehicle not to start.
How can you get your battery to charge with out the charger?
You cannot charge a battery without a battery charger or having it charged by the alternator in your vehicle while it is running.
Does a car have to be moving to charge the battery?
No , for the battery to be charged the engine must be running . This means that your alternator , if it's functioning properly , is charging the car's battery as the engine is on/running .
Does the alternator run when you have the car started and in park?
Yes, as long as the engine is running, so is the alternator. The alternator is actually what keeps the car battery charged.
What does a vehicle depend on to keep it charged while the car is running?
The alternator - it provides a charge to the battery while the engine is running.
Will the alternator run the battery low?
If the alternator is not charging the battery, then it will eventually go dead If the voltage regulator (in the alternator) is defective it will eventually kill the battery Check the alternator with a voltmeter A fully charged battery (without engine running) should read approx. 12.8 volts With engine running should read 13.8-14.2 volts
When driving 97 ford explorer while accelerating car shuts down then battery clicks?
Your alternator is probably not keeping the battery charged while the car is running. You need a new alternator!!
Would a car stall if the battery was dead?
The problem is probably the alternator. If the alternator fails to keep the battery charged the battery will keep the car running until it can no longer supply voltage to essential systems and the car will stall.
Why does your battery light stay on you put a new battery in it?
That light doesn't mean that your battery needs to be replaced. It means that your battery is not being charged while the car is running. Have your alternator tested.
