If you constantly run your car with a dead battery will this hurt your alternator?
Yes, alternators are designed to maintain the battery, or recharge a battery that has been slightly discharged from starting the car. When the alternator is used to recharge a dead battery, it causes the alternator work harder and longer than it is designed for, causing it to overheat, thus causing damage to the alternator. A battery charger should be used instead. They are designed for charging dead batteries. After the battery is charged, let the alternator maintain the charge.
Alternator not charging 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo?
best way to tell if the alternator is charging is to unhook the battery with the engine running, if it shuts off then you know you have a bad alternator, i wouldn't recommend this with newer vehicles due to the fact you could hurt the computer but an 89 i wouldn't worry about that so much, good luck!

Can leaving a laptop charging hurt the battery?
If you look at it on the long term, yes it does in a way ruin the battery of any electronic device. This is because you sort of get it used to the all-time supply of current and the batterry itself doesn't do much work. It is often good to unplug the device and actually use the battery.
Why does your battery light come on sometimes in a 2003 Mazda tribute?
Intermittent Operation of the Charging System Warning LightIf I understand what you mean by "battery light," what I call a charging system "Idiot Light," then there could be several causes, but...The most common cause is that when the engine idle speed drops below a certain point, the RPM required to cause optimum alternator output is too low momentarily, and that indicates that there is more current flowing OUT of the battery than the charging system is putting INTO the battery.If the light goes out on increase in engine RPM, then this is probably the cause, and it's not an indication of a problem in the charging system.If this is the case, it would not hurt to have a qualified engine technician check the engine idle speed, and readjust if necessary

Can a ipod touch 4th generation break from over charging?
the ipod have a lithium-ion battery and have an in-built chip that regulates charging. when fully charged and while still plugged, this chip will let the battery run down slightly say 5% then let it charge back up to 100% again this is good for the battery as it keeps the cells working, which is essential for Li-Ion batteries. so the short answer is charge it whenever, however and for as long as you want, it's not going to hurt it in the slightest. what does hurt the batteries is being fully dis-charged all the time or storing it for long periods of time at less than 50% charge.
Will a 90 amp 95-98 240sx alternator fit as a replacement for your 80amp alternator in your 93 240?
If the electrical connectors are the same configuration and the mounting brackets allign the Amperage difference will not hurt your system in the least. Be sure your battery has had a good slow charge to bring it right up before you go for a drive.
