Need to jump start a 2000 Monte to start the battery is fully charged?
If you need to jump start the car then the battery may be fully charged but it is defective and needs replacing. A full charged battery will read 12.6 volts at the posts with the engine not running. 12 volts indicates the battery is only 25% charged.
Can you use a car battery to start a motor bike?
as long as its 12 volts.!
How can you check your car battery with a voltmeter?
With the engine off check the voltage at the battery. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. At 75% charge it will read 12.4 volts, 12.2 at 50% charge, and 12.0 volts at 25% charge. Now start the engine and check the voltage at the battery. It should read 13.5 to 15.5 volts if the alternator is working properly.
What can be wrong if the car does not start but the battery light shows.?
Among other things; Just because a battery has approximately 12 volts does not mean it is good. It can produce those 12 volts but without the amperage available from a good battery, you will get nothing. defective plates in the battery will allow it to generate 12 volts while severely reducing the available "cranking amps". Quickest way to rule out a battery is with a jump start.
Can a car battery be bad if its still pushing 12 volts?
Yes. A fully charge battery will read 12.6 volts with engine not running. A 75% charged battery will read 12.4 volts. At 50% charge, it will read 12.2 volts. At a 25% charge it will read 12 volts, but that will not be enough to even start the engine in most cases and unless the alternator is bad the battery is defective. With the engine running you should read 13.5 to 15.5 volts at the battery. Any less and the alternator is defective.
How can you tell if it is an alternator problem or just a dead battery?
generally if you hook up a multi-meter to the battery and start the engine it should read 13.5 or 14 volts, when you turn on headlights and other accessories the alternator should keep the battery charged up to at least 12 volts, you can also just check the battery to see how many volts it's putting out before you start the vehicle
When you turn the ignition the volts going to the starter are less than 7 volts Why?
whats the battery voltage start there and test your way down
How do you charge a craftsman key start battery?
like you charge a car battery....use a trickle charger set to 12 volts
What volts do the rc battery packs come in?
Rc battery volts start a 8.4 and end at 20.6 volts, yes it is a pretty high voltage but it will make your rc car go a whole lot faster so if I was you I would buy it from hobby partz
What is the voltage output for the alternator on a 2002 Kia Spectra?
It has to be 13 plus volts to keep the battery charged. The car requires a 12 volt battery to start and run this vehicle, so you need more then 12 volts to keep the battery charged.
What voltage should a 12v battery be charged at?
12 volts!!! 12 volts!!! Real Answer 13.1 volts (Depending on Battery)
Twelve volts are leaving the battery and it still will not start?
Twelve volts are leaving, but how many Amps? If it's not enough, the starter won't engage. Good Luck !!!!
