What happens if you drive around with a bad car voltage regulator?

Battery will either be overcharged and burn out numerous electrical components or battery will be undercharged and eventually won't have enough voltage to operate vehicle


How do you measure the voltage on a car alternator?

get a multi meter that reads dc voltage & touch the black (negative -) wire to the negative battery post & the red (positive +) wire to the positive battery post with car running. car off is battery voltage, car on is alternator voltage.


Can you start and move a car without battery?

The battery is used when the car is running to stabilize the voltage and store energy from the alternator. It is not recommended to run the car with no battery, as this can damage the alternator and the car's electrical system.A dead battery (if you have one) can usually suffice to run the car for a short time, however it may also damage the alternator.

Will your car stop running if your battery is low?

Will a Car Stop Running If the Battery is LowThe answer is yes and no. It depends on HOW low. The electrical computer(s) and ignition systems require a minimum voltage. What that voltage number is I don't know, and it probably varies with various models of vehicles and the amount of accessories on it.

What is electrical checks?

The term electrical checks will differ with respect to the machine or system being referenced. Electrical checks on a car will include the DC battery Voltage, charging voltage and current and may be voltage during engine starting. On a machine it could be main voltage secondary control voltages and even specific test point voltages on a control board.

Can a car recharge its own battery if the battery goes completely dead?

A car cannot recharge its own battery if the battery is completely dead, because you need excitation voltage in the rotor to develop a voltage in the stator. Besides, you need voltage to run the ignition/computer system, and you need voltage to start the engine. That said, most batteries are not completely dead. If you can jump start the car, and assuming there is no electrical problem anywhere, you can run the engine and charge the battery. Problem is that most car batteries are not designed for deep discharge, and the probability that damage was done is greater than normal. Also, if the battery is very deeply discharged, you probably ought to charge it with an external charger (with the battery disconnected from the car) until its voltage is somewhat normal and its electrolyte is within limits for specific gravity.
