What else can I help you with?
How do truck battery and alternator work in giving electri power to home?
No battery is 12v alternator charges the battery your hous is 120ac voltage. Would be very in efficient to use a battery and inverter to provide power to a home.
What would be keeping a car from restarting after getting a jump if it has a new battery?
New batteries require charging before they are used. Try charging the battery with a home charger (dont let the alternator charge it as it will decrease the life of the alternator) and give it a try.
How long do you run your car after a a car jump?
I assume you mean how long to charge the battery. You should never let the alternator charge a dead battery if possible. The alternator is designed to keep the battery charged but not to charge a dead battery. You put a strain on the alternator and it can cause a diode to burn out. Drive home and then put a battery charger on the battery to fully charge it.
What will happen if the alternator belt is loose?
if it slips, then it does not charge the battery, and you might not make it home if you are driving home at night with the headlights on.
Battery is good but no power to anything then try to start again and everything works fine?
Im having the same problem, except for I just replaced my alternator, my battery is 2 years old, I have checked and tightend all connections on the battery, and it ohmed out at 12.5 volts... what the heck, I got jumpstarted after i replaced the alternator, drove home, and I turned my lights on and my car almost died electrically, let it run for about 20, shut it off, and now when I turn my key I get absolutely the dash of death, no lights or noises or anything... crickets chirping My question is: if you have no lights or power when you turn the key, and the battery and alternator are good.... what else can it be??
Does driving the car also charge the battery if its dead?
Yes, once you have jump started the car (from another car's battery), driving the car will recharge the dead battery (provided the battery is OK). This is a terrible idea and may damage the alternator. Drive the car immediately home and charge the battery with a battery charger. Alternators are designed to keep a charged battery fully charged. They are not designed to charge a dead battery. This puts way too much strain on the alternator circuits.
How long to run your car battery after jump charging?
It is best to drive home and put a battery charger on the battery and let it fully charge. Letting it charge with the alternator puts a strain on the alternator and should be avoided if possible. But if you have no charger then you will need to let the engine run for around 30 minutes to charge the battery enough so that it will start the next morning. It will take a couple of hours of driving to fully charge the battery.
What are the benefits of using a battery powered home generator during power outages?
Using a battery-powered home generator during power outages offers benefits such as providing backup power for essential devices, ensuring safety and security, and maintaining comfort and convenience in the home.
95 Tercel driving down the highway with AC on radio and clock lost power then several minutes later the whole car lost power and would not restart but car started up after being towed home Why?
its most likely a bad ground. check that both cables going to your battery are snug and corrosion free, also check motor ground. If you have subs and amp with your stereo it could have been drawing more power than your alternator could produce. or alternator or battery could be on its way to going bad. also check the flux capacitor
My 98 Accord V-6 all of a sudden for no reason at all my battery light brake light and all door light indicators on my dash board suddenly are light up. Does anyone know why?
a light is something that helps you see better at any time of the day. Is good for many things like reading at night on your bed, sitting in your school classroom and much much more! Ans. fr: da12b I'm not sure of when you posted this, but your alternator is gone. I had the same problem with my 1998 Honda Accord. I heard a load buzz like wine getting louder and louder, then it stopped and the instrument panel lit up like a Christmas Tree, like you car. Get it replaced as soon as possible. Your alternator provides power to your car when the engine is running. Your battery will die without it. Here's an analogy...take your home computer - represents your car and all electronics, the 120 volts power supply - the alternator, providing power to the "computer," and the backup battery is your car battery. If the 120 volts power goes out, you will be running on your backup battery "car battery," and if power is not restored, the back up battery will die, if the alternator is not replaced the battery will die. I hope this explain it so you can understand. If not, here is a site for you to look at. It is designed for car audio, but you will understand it. http://www.bcae1.com Good luck and get your alternator replaced ASAP. If you want more info…. Hit me back…canagano@hotmail.com
Connected the house battery in a motor home wrong connected the positive and negative to the positive termimal and the ground to the negative Did I ruin the battery?
No, not the battery. But anything that has a diode, transistor or is in any other way dependent on polarity may be fried... including your alternator.
What are the best options for a backup power battery for home use?
The best options for a backup power battery for home use are typically lithium-ion batteries or lead-acid batteries. These batteries are reliable, long-lasting, and can provide sufficient power to keep essential appliances running during a power outage. It is important to consider factors such as capacity, efficiency, and safety features when choosing a backup power battery for home use.
