Why wont my Four wheeler battery stay charged?
i had the same exact problem with my 2001 polaris sportsman 400. It is either your voltage regulator or your stator. With your ATV running disconnect the positive terminal on your battery. IF the ATV quits instantly then its probably your stator.
Why is your 1988 Chevrolet truck with a 305 engine running of the battery only and not the alternator?
If it is running on the battery only then that means the alternator is not charging the battery.
1999 Ford Expedition battery light on?
The battery light indicates the system is not charging. Have the charging system checked. If the alternator is not charging, the engine will quit running and leave you stranded.
Why 1988 Dodge truck stopped running has new battery?
bad alternator ? its not charging the battery
Does a car have to be moving to charge the battery?
No , for the battery to be charged the engine must be running . This means that your alternator , if it's functioning properly , is charging the car's battery as the engine is on/running .
Could a bad coil keep the alternator from charging the battery?
Yes, because a bad coil will not allow the engine to run. But if the engine is running then the coil has nothing to do with the alternator charging the battery.
Can you charge a dead battery by getting a second car that is running take the good battery out of the running car and put the dead battery into the running car as a means of charging it?
No, this will place a very heavy load on the alternator of the car and may result in burning out the diodes of the car charging the battery. You could easily ruin the alternator. Purchase a battery charger and charge the dead battery with that. Alternators are not made to charge dead batteries.
Can you use and charge and battery at the same time?
I kinda wonder that myself...I am running my 12v LED computer fan from a 12v battery pack from my Ryobi drill with the charging cable inserted into the battery...it says its charging, and my fan is running...So, I will see if it doesnt explode...fingers crossed...
What will a new battery do for a truck?
As long as the alternator works and your charging system is correct, the new battery will start your truck and keep it running.
Should your car turn off while is running if it has a bad battery?
If the cause of the dead battery is from the charging system failure, yes.
Why is the car battery charging at 14 volts running and 13.5 not running?
your alternator charges the battery while the car is running. The alternator actually puts out a higher voltage than 14 volts while it is running, but it is reduced by a voltage regulator (most of which are already built into the alternator housing), to prevent damage and premature death of the vehicles battery. While your car is not running, the alternator is not charging the battery, and the 13.5 volt reading you get is just the measurement of the voltage the battery is holding at that given point.
