How do you wire a boat winch do I use the truck or Boat Battery?
truck battery Check the specifications on the winch to find its voltage and amperage.
How do you check the battery when the engine does not start?
check voltage of battery with multymeter,check water leval, specific gravitycheck if battery is too hot while cranking
How do you find a shorted wire current draw with the key in the off position if you know which main fuse is involved on a 94 S-10 Blazer?
You need to do a parasitic draw test. Use a voltmeter to check base voltage of battery. Then crank the engine, check voltage at battery. It needs to be at least two more volts than previous base voltage. Then apply a load or turn on headlights. The voltage should not drop over one volt. Ideal base voltage at battery terminals is 12.6, ideal charging voltage would be 14.6, ideal loaded voltage would be 13.6 volts aproximately. If you find a drainage in system and you have a good battery, then you need to check radio and main accessories first, then check door latch switches and courtesy dome lamps.

How many hours does a lawn mower battery have to be on a float charger?
A battery float charger is intended only to keep a fully charged battery from losing its charge. It will NOT work to charge a battery that is discharged or damaged. Check the voltage of the battery to be charged. Do not use charger if the battery voltage is less than 9.6 volts.
Battery not charging 1991 ford areostar van?
Check the voltage of your battery, first thing to do. It should be 12+ volts shown in you battery tester. Then, start the engine and check the battery voltage again. If the voltage goes up to 14 to 14+ volts, it means that your alternator is working. It's time for you to replace the battery.
How do you test voltage regulator on motorcycle?
Check the battery voltage, bike not running. Start the bike (crank the rpm's up a little), voltage should be a couple of volts more than battery voltage. Check both voltage (running and not running) at battery terminals. Charge voltage isn't all though, if it doesn't stop charging when it should it will boil the battery dry. If you are having this symptom, it's for sure the regulator
Why the battery on a Harley Sportster would not stay charged?
It could be a bad battery or regulator. To check the regulator to see if it putting out the correct voltage check the battery voltage while the bike is running. It should be around 14 volts.
How can you check the charging voltage of a yamaha seca?
Take a voltmeter and hook it up to the battery posts and read what the voltage is. It should be 12 volts or more. Now start the motorcycle and check the voltage, if it goes up, it's charging. If not, check the battery to make sure it is not dry.
What is to be done if the battery voltage check shows less than 22.5 Volts in a battery?
What voltage battery are you referring to? An automobile battery is 12 volts and a fully charged auto battery should read 12.6 volts.
What should you do if your 1990 Dodge Ram won't start?
Check battery voltage (14.4), check starter solenoid, check battery cable condition, check battery terminal condition, check plug wire condition
How do you know if a battery is dead?
Try start the car. Check the voltage.
Where is the voltage regulator on a 1992 Chevy Astro?
the voltage regulator is built into the alternator, check voltage at battery connections should be 14.5 volts
