YES. it will ruin your battery as the battery needs the alternator too recharge a full battery will last you 30-40 min maybe more or less depends.. it will drain your battery and make you stall (you mite be able too recharge later)maybe) if your alternator is bad YOU must get a new or used one ,its recommended if you get a new alt. get a new bat. as this will supply you years of trouble free from your car electrical issues.
Not likely but as alterantor keeps trying to charge a weak battery it may wear out, however as you are not likely to keep a bad battery in the car for so long there should be no damage to alternator if battery is replaced.
YesFirst if the starter is bad the car will not start, if it will not start it can not charge the battery.If the starter will not work it can mean there is an electrical problem that will also prevent the alternator from charging the batteryThe starter itself CAN NOT CAUSE CHARGING PROBLEMS!The extra load on the battery can ruin the battery and that can ruin the alternator. But before that NO.
Your battery might be bad, or so might the alternator, or both. A bad alternator will ruin a good battery over time, and vice versa.
a bad ground wire can ruin an alternator by not completing the circuit
When the alternator goes bad or goes out completely, the car's battery will be drained. I suggest you pull the alternator and have it tested. If the alternator is bad, you will most likely need a new battery as well. The cost is around $200.00.
Usually it means your alternator is bad or going bad.
An alternator is designed to keep a fully charged battery at peak level. It is not designed to charge a dead battery. Installing a new alternator on a car with a dead battery can in some cases ruin the new alternator. Fully charge the dead battery before starting the engine.
The battery light coming on in your Town and Country minivan means that the alternator needs to be replaced. The alternator charges the battery and if it goes bad it will not charge the battery.
The main cause of battery drains is a bad electrical system. The electrical system is normally powered by the alternator and once the alternator goes bad the battery has a hard time holding a charge,
bad alternator, bad voltage regulator, bad battery, bad connections.
your alternator ain't charging your battery or a bad connection draining the battery
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alt belt.
Yes, it can ruin the battery by overcharging it. If you are reading between 13.5 to 15.5 volts at the battery with the engine idling then more than likely the alternator is good and you battery has a dead cell. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts with the engine not running.
more than the alternator diode is bad have the alternator checked
Car batteries get re-charged by the alternator. If your battery recently went dead, "miles" is not what is measured to recharge the battery, "time" is used. I'd leave the car running for 15-30 minutes. Driving for this amount of time too is fine. If the battery goes dead again, probably a bad battery or bad alternator, or sometimes a bad alternator makes the battery go bad and they both need repaired. (typically a new alternator is $120 - $200)
run it and then disconnect the negative wire from the battery if alternator dies its bad.
You might have a bad battery, a poor connection between the battery and alternator, or a bad ground from the battery.
It sounds like the alternator is bad. If the alternator is bad the battery will not hold charge when running
The answer is no . The battery starts you vehicle , the alternator charges the battery so if your alternator is bad your battery is not receiving a charge which will cause a "no start" condition.
The battery does not have sufficient voltage to start the car when it's cold. Have the battery checked out. If it still goes click click after running the car for a while, have the alternator checked also. A bad battery will not hold a charge and a bad alternator will not recharge the battery, (That is the reason to have the battery checked first). Make sure the connections at the battery are clean and tight.
It could either be because your alterneator is going bad, or that your alternator belt is loose. Theres an component in the alternator that sends a signal to the dashboard for the battery status. Most often on reconditioned alternators, this component goes bad but it does not affect the overall performance of the alternator
Bad alternator? Bad voltage regulator? Bad Battery (won't take a charge)? Bad fusable link? Loose or corroded battery cables?
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery.

Check for a bad fusable link at alternator
