When the wires are connected to the charged parts of the battery, an electric current flows through the circuit, causing the bulb to light up. The flow of electricity energizes the filament inside the bulb, which heats up and produces light. If the connections are secure and the battery is charged, the bulb will shine brightly until the battery's energy is depleted.
when he connected the parts he got an electric current.
In a electrochemical cell or a battery there are two electrodes and an electrolyte. Chemical reaction occurs between the electrodes and the electrolyte which causes one of the electrodes to be positively charged and the next one to be negatively charged. The differences between the two electrodes creates voltage. When the battery is now connected to a circuit it makes a current.
An electric current flowed around the circuit.
There is probably a bad cell in the battery. Take it to an auto parts retailer and have them check the battery for you.
Take it to your local auto parts chain store. Most of them will check your battery and alternator for free.
Have the battery load tested at your local auto parts store, even though you think you have it charged it may be bad. Have the charging system tested also.
If the cable connections are clean and tight, the battery puts out less than 12.3 volts fully charged, will not stay charged, has been run down more than once, or is over 4 years old it is probably bad. Remove the battery and have it tested at an Auto Parts Store.
Our original battery had to be replaced about 4 months ago (we have a 2005 500). The battery showed it was fully charged --- but it wasn't. This was the original battery that came in the car. You might take the battery out and take it and have it professionally checked at a parts store. We thought something else was wrong with the car since it wouldn't turn over, but it turned out to just be the battery.
it wont work anymore. have it tested before replacing could be it is not being charged properly Most auto parts stores will test your battery and charging system for zip.
I would suspect a bad alternator and battery, have them both checked at the parts store. A car with a fully charged battery and a bad alternator will run until the battery is drained and then quit.
It is being over charged or it has an internal problem. It has the potential of exploding in your face. Do not create a source of ignition anywhere near the battery. Your local auto parts store can test the battery and the charging system.
If the battery light is on, it usually means that the alternator has a problem. Have the alternator checked at a local auto parts retailer. If one or more of the diodes are bad, your battery charge will be affected.
