Will a bad battery connection or corrosion rob your car of horsepower at higher rpms?

Though your alternator is constantly supplying power to your car while it is running, an incomplete circuit could cause your car to 'wind down.'
Try pouring some Coca-Cola onto your battery cables where they connect to the battery to remove all that crud that collects there over time. It works, and looks pretty cool!
I love science :D
I hope that helps you out.

What makes the corrosion rate higher in industrial areas than in urban areas?
Taking a look at the industrial areas,the corrosion rate seems to be higher since the industrial area can be said to be a combination of both an urban centre and a rural centre and invariably has a corrosion rate= corrosion rate of urban + corrosion rate of rural areas
Which connection is the head start program attempting to make?
more education = higher salaries
What is is cold cranking rate?
cold cranking amps is the rating on a car battery- the higher the number of cca the stronger the starting power of the battery
What happens if you use a larger car battery then recommended?
If the battery will physically fit there is no problem using a higher capacity battery. Of course the voltage remains 12 Volts but there will a higher amperage available for a longer time should it be needed. This could actually be an advantage if there is ever difficulty starting, there will be more starter cranking time before the battery runs down. Think of it as having a larger gas tank, the gas is the same but there is more if needed.
1994 ranger with 5 speed does not start engine doesnt turn over lights go out and no noises clutch pushed in.?
If all electrical power is lost as soon as you turn the key to crank, you likely have a main power supply problem. You can verify this condition by turning on the headlights. If lights go out when key is turned you have a main power supply problem. Check battery terminals first for corrosion and fitment. Also, make sure your battery is fully charged and in good health. Next, check cable connections to starter for corrosion and fitment. Finally, check main ground cable and connections. Don't bother with smaller gauge wires since you are experiencing a problem with the main circuit. If all is clean and tight you will need an ohm meter to measure the resistance of these cables. If any are found to be higher than 5 ohms, replace it. It's common to have this problem as a result of worn out battery and poor terminal connections.

How much difference does horsepower matter in riding lawnmowers?
the higher the horsepower rating the larger the deck size you can have
What is the metal that speed up corrosion?
Any metal that is higher than iron in the electrochemical series coupled to it will speed up the corrosion. As an example, a copper pipe in contact with steel will accelerate the corrosion of the steel.
How many horsepower does a 2011 mustang gt have?

How much horsepower did the n14 red top cummins have?
The Cummins N14 engines could be had in horsepower ratings from 310 to 525 horsepower. The red top engines were those rated at 435 horsepower or higher.
Difference between ATV and dirt bike chains?
The length, and depending on horsepower, it could be larger for the higher horsepower bike.
Out of ammonia battery acid isopropyl alcohol and water which has a higher pH?
Battery acid has the higher pH.
What is relation between power and RPM?
Horsepower is calculated from RPM and torque. The higher the RPM you can sustain an engines torque at, the higher the Horsepower. Horsepower and Torque are always the same amount at 5250 RPM with all but diesel powered engines. Also the more rotational mass you can spin at a higher rpm, the more energy it poseses.
Can you upgrade p4 to a higher p4?
They can be up-gunned with missiles and horsepower.
What is battery corrosion made of?
Depends on the material that is corroding. If you're speaking of generic lead-acid automotive batteries white corrosion is usually lead or zinc sulfate crystals, Aluminum connectors corrode to aluminum sulfate, & copper connectors produce blue and white corrosion crystals. Also, the steel bolts on these connectors tend not to corrode too much because of the reactivity of the other metals in the terminal. Being of a higher reactivity they corrode more than the steel rusts.
What is the horsepower of the 2007 Cadillac CTS and how does it compare to competitors?
"The standard horsepower of the 2007 Cadillac CTS is 210 HP. Comparitively speaking, other competitors in that range offered vehicles with a higher horsepower."
What is a hypothesis for how pH in water Affects Copper Corrosion?
If the water's pH is more acidic (lower pH) then the effects of copper corrosion will be faster and more pronounce. If the water is less acidic (Higher pH) copper corrosion will take longer and be less pronounce.
