Can a battery be charged by an alternator while running an electric motor?
Yes
Why battery die while driving no light came on?
Check all electric system, mainly alternator. Alternator's brush may be worn out.
What is the purpose of a diode in a car connected after the battery?
I think the purpose is so that the battery doesn't drain itself trying to turn the alternator as though it was an electric motor. The diode only lets current flow in one direction, from the alternator to the battery.
Where does the voltage come from in an electric circuit?
Depends on which circuit. It can be from a battery, or a device called a generator, alternator, dynamo, or a magneto.
Alternator replacement for 1998 Toyota rav 4?
Wear safety goggles and disconnect battery terminals from battery. Remove serpentine belt, then remove all electric connectors and bolts securing alternator. Replace with new part and re-install all electric connectors and bolts securing it. Re-connect battery terminals and your done.
Remove positive battery terminal and car dies?
Yes it does. The alternator will only produce voltage if it has a battery supply. The battery power is used to create a magnetic field in the alternator. Spinning the magnetic field induces an electric field in the stator windings. Then the alternator can produce power to recharge the battery and maintain the electrical supply to the engine and ancilliary circuits.Take away the battery, no electrics, engine dies. Plus, it can also cause an electrical spike that could damage the computer.
Can a car battery be damaged with a falty alternator?
Yes if the alternator is overcharging the battery.
Why can't electric cars use an alternater?
In a normal car, the alternator charges a very small car battery as compared to the large battery packs found in an electric car. An all electric car's battery pack is very large and there is no alternator that is powerful enough and small enough to charge all the batteries while the car is in motion. For instance the main drive motor of the Tesla is a 3 phase 4 pole induction motor. It is far more powerful than a common car alternator. It is used as an alternator during regenerative braking.http://auto.howstuffworks.com/tesla-roadster1.htm
How do you wire alternator to a battery to test alternator?
run it and then disconnect the negative wire from the battery if alternator dies its bad.
Does a dead battery cause the alternator to not work after it is charged?
A battery is nothing more than a storage device for electric power. The alternator changes the kinetic energy given off by the engine into electrical energy. If the battery can be charged and store energy but the battery keeps discharging after you use the vehicle, check the alternator. If someone accidentally reversed polarity EVEN BRIEFLY while jump-starting the vehicle the diode plate is probably destroyed and you will have to replace or repair the alternator.
Why the battery light come on Toyota Camry 89 model?
the alternator isn't charging as it shouldthe battery is bad and can't hold a charge any longeryou have an electric fault somewhere which is draining the battery.
What does your alternator do?
