Why Batteries "Die"
There could be many causes, but the most common causes include:
- Corrosion on the battery terminals and/or the battery cable terminal connector clamps which inhibits or totally blocks the flow of charging current.
- A charging system which is out of adjustment or defective [loose drive belt (s), defective alternator or generator, defective voltage regulator, damaged wiring, disconnected, loose, or corroded connectors and/or grounds, etc.].
- Battery is just plain "worn out"; has reached the end of it life span.

If the alternator is good but the battery isn't charging in your 95 Probe SE could the main circuit relay keep the battery from charging?
No, take the battery out and bring it to an auto part store and they can test it.
How do you check the volts of a battery?
With a volt meter or multi-meter. With the engine off the battery should read 12 volts at the battery posts. With the engine running it should read from 13.5-16 volts. Red positive probe goes to positive red post on battery, black negative probe goes to negative battery post or any metal ground on the engine.
Ford Probe dies stalls kills won't start?
Will it even attempt to engage the starter?. If not then the battery or charging system needs to be looked at.
Why does your 1994 probe gt Lose all electrical power to while driving battery dose not hold charge when boosted?
old and cold = bad battery
How do you check battery state of charge with voltmeter?
You must have a digital volt meter. With the ignition switch turned off, set the digital voltmeter to 20 volts DC. Put red probe on positive battery post and black probe on negative post. A 100% fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. 75% charged will read 12.4 volts. 50% charged will read 12.2 volts. 25% charged will read 12.0 volts.
Why is your Battery not charging after replacing alternator on 95 ford probe?
Chances are you drained your battery when your alternator failed to maintain your cars regular running functions. You should take the battery to your local auto parts store, they should be able to test it for free.
How do you check a battery is charged?
Take a DC volt meter and check the voltage at the battery. Red probe on positive + terminal and Black probe on negative - terminal. If it reads 12.6 volts it is fully charged. 12.4 and it is 75%, 12.2 and it is 50%, 12.0 and it is 25% charged. Less than 12 volts and it is considered a dead battery.
How do you test if an alternator is charging the battery?
Simple just disconnect the negative wire while your car is runing if car dies then alternator is bad and not doing any good to battery so alternator needs to be replaced. Answer 1If you have a major chain auto parts store nearby, it would be easier to go there as most of them have the proper test equipment and will simultaneously test the alternator, battery and related circuits for free. If you want to test it yourself, you will need a volt/ohmmeter [also called a VOM].With the VOM selector switch set to the 50 volt DC Scale, and the engine running, touch the negative [black] probe of the meter to the negative post of the battery [black cable attached], and the postitive probe [red] of the meter to the positive terminal [red cable attached] of the battery.Depending on the type of vehicle, charging system, and some other factors, the meter voltage reading will vary. However, the meter should read at least 13.5 DC volts minimum to about 16 volts maximum. If you have set the meter selector and connected the probes properly, and the indicated voltage is within this range, then the alternator is working properly.
Magnetic flux density is measured by q meter or ac voltmeter or hall probe or energy meter?
Hall Probe. When the Hall Probe is held so that the magnetic field lines are passing at right angles through the sensor of the probe, the meter gives a reading of the value of magnetic flux density (B).
Why a 1998 dodge neon will run after a jump start but not hold a charge?
First check charging system. If charging is ok, check battery terminals and cables for corrosion. If ok, check for power draw,this is done by disconnecting the ground at battery and placing a test light in line(ground of test light connected to battery ground post and test probe connected to ground cable), close all doors and wait at least two minutes for computers to go to sleep. If you have a draw, test light should burn bright (battery voltage), remove fuses one at a time, until light goes out, this will indicate where the draw is located.
Replaced battery on '96 Ford Probe now car stalls when slow down but battery clamp broken so clamp have to do with stall?
More than likely. Get the clamp fixed! When going at speed, the clamp will vibrate, and will only be half re-charging the battery (the alternator re-charges it during operation). This means that when you slow down, you may not be getting any charge to it at all. Either that, or its just not making contact with the terminal when you have slowed down.
Why would a 1995 ford probe not stay charged once you have changed battery and alternator?
If the battery continues to go down even though the system is charging it normally indicates there is an amperage draw. to test it without any meters; disconnect the negative battery cable and observe when you touch the connector to the battery. If there is even the slightest spark, you have an amperage draw and that will run your battery down.
