Can You Charge...Yes. As a matter of fact, in order to charge a battery, the charging voltage HAS to be greater than the charged battery's voltage or no current will flow and charging cannot happen.Of course, the charging voltage cannot be excessive, or damage to the battery being charged will result.In your question, 4.6 volts is not excessive for a 4.2 volt battery.
NO, a 12 volt battery cannot be charged with a 6 volt charger. To charge any battery, the charging voltage has to be, at least, slightly higher than higher than the voltage of the battery. Current flowing through the battery is what accomplishes the charging, and no current will flow at or below the voltage of the battery to be charged.
When the ignition is turned on, battery voltage passes down the wire to the alternator to 'excite' the alternator when the engine starts. When the engine starts and the alternator generates a voltage, the light is extinguised by the charging voltage cancelling out the battery voltage coming down the wire. If and when the alternator completetly fails the the light will come back on as there is no sancelling voltage. if the alternator produces a voltage lower than the voltage from the ignition switch then the battery light will glow.
No, the charging voltage needs to closely match the battery or BOOM!
When the alternator starts charging the battery voltage will increase about two volts to charge the battery.
Hi, Either bad charging system or battery. Check battery voltage itself and then voltage to battery with engine running. Healthy charging system will put out 1.5 to 2.0 volts above battery voltage. Motorcycles are notoriously rough on batteries. Peace, crigby
no, the voltage regulater is for charging not the ignition system, it can however drain the battery
The battery light comes on when the charging system voltage drops below 12V. If your light is on all the time, have your charging system checked because it probably is not charging the sytem.
dead battery dead alternator dead voltage regulator each needs to be tested.
The system is a 12 volt. The maximum charge rate should be less than 15 volts. The charging system needs to be tested, to see which component is NOT working properly. It could be the alternator, the voltage regulator, or the battery. The test is called a charging system check. Jim Bunting. Toronto.
