The coin if conductive could short out the battery draining it of all its power. If the coin is no conductive it could act as an insulator breaking the flow of electricity.

Why would your car stop running while driving and all electricity die?

The easiest answer to this question would be that both your gas ran out and your battery died. Another possibility is a blown alternator, this is the device that turns your engines power into electricity, and charges your battery. Car cannot run without.

Why is a battery has a chemical reaction?

chemical reaction produce electricity in the battery because the chemical contains negative charges and the bar or rod that goes through the battery contains positive charges so when they mix together they make electricity. when the charges are weak they stop making electricity or they don't make any contact with each other any more so they don't produce electricity anymore and people say that the battery dies out.

Why do rechargable batteries stop working properly?

A battery produces electricity because electrons flow from one reactant in the battery's chemical reaction to another reactant. However, once one of the reactants is completely used up, the chemical reaction stops, thus also stopping the flow of electricity. Now, how does a battery recharge? Well, the details of this are a bit too complicated to get into, but I can provide a abbreviated explanation. A battery charger produces an electrical force that actually causes the battery's chemical reaction to reverse. Thus, when a battery is dead, it has all the products and no reactants. A battery charger will force those products to react with each other and reform the reactants. Once that happens, the battery is ready to go again. This doesn't work for all batteries, however. That's why many batteries are not rechargeable. Hope this helps!


Should you disconnect your battery if you know the alternator has gone bad?

Only disconnect it when ready to replace the alternator. The primary function of the battery is to store electricity needed to start the car. Secondarily, it stores electricity for use powering the electrical items on the car when the engine is off. If the alternator is not producing sufficient power to run the engine, the battery takes over. Once the battery is drained of its power, the engine will stop. You can jump-start a car whose alternator is faulty but battery is connected, and the car may run for a short time before the battery dies. If there is no battery, the car will start but not stay running once the jump device or cables are disconnected.
