What else can I help you with?
Would a bad solenoid discharge the battery?
If the defect is causing a parasitic drain, yes.
If a 12 volt 18 amp hour battery is installed in a circuit with a continuous 1 amp current draw on the battery what would happen?
would discharge in 18 hours
What does 1994 Saturn SL2 dashboard battery warning light indicate?
It typically indicates that the alternator has failed and is no longer charging the battery. Once that happens, the battery will slowly discharge and the vehicle will no longer start. The battery is simply an electrical storage device and if the alternator is unable to replace the electrical energy used LAST time the vehicle started, the battery will discharge. Automotive batteries are not designed for "deep discharge", meaning that if you allow your battery to discharge too much you are causing harm. Once the warning light comes on it would be wise for you to take care of the problem as soon as possible.
Can you flush a battery and add new acid?
You could if the battery was not sealed but what would be the reason for doing this? Electrolyte does not wear out.
What would make a car discharge besides the battery and alternator?
All of a vehicle's electicity using devices drain/discharge the battery, but during the time the engine is running, the alternaror is supposed to keep the battery recharged. If the engine IS running, but the alternator is NOT providing enough current to recharge the battery then ALL of the electricity using devices discharge the battery. Some of the "onboard" computers draw some slight amount of power even when the ignition switch is off, but they do not use enough power by themselves to significantly discharge the vehicle battery. Any electricity using device which SHOULD be turned off when the ignition is off, BUT... which due to some fault [such as a "stuck" relay for example] that keeps that device still turned on when the engine is not running and the key is off will also discharge the battery. Or, just leaving the ignition switch on without the engine running, or the headlights or parking lights on, or sound equipment left on will contribute to discharge of a vehicle's battery.
What would cause a battery to discharge overnight on a 1986 Pontiac parisienne?
I'm not sure if this may be YOUR problem but when I was having my battery discharge on me, I ended up disconnecting the passengers electric seat. Again, I'm not even sure if that was the problem or if it's your problem either, but it seemed to work for mine.
Can a capacitor store electric energy from a wind mill to discharge into a storage battery?
Yes, but it would not be cost effective. The battery has more "capacity" than a capacitor. Best to simply charge the storage battery directly from the wind mill.
Which cell would be the most effective as a battery and why?
The lithium-ion cell would be the most effective as a battery because it has a high energy density, long lifespan, and low self-discharge rate compared to other types of cells.
Would a bad alternator on a 1999 Grand Cherokee Jeep Limited keep discharging a brand new battery?
=== === Some types of electrical shorts do cause the battery to discharge. But usually a bad alternator just does not charge the battery. Or does not put a large enough charge back into the battery. This causes the battery to discharge when you start and run the motor. The spark plugs and other things need electricity that would usually come from the alternator is now coming from your battery. If your bad alternator is not recharging the new battery, the battery will soon fail to start or run your vehicle. You need to have your alternator tested. It should be putting out at least 12 volts, usually around 13 to 15 volts.
How do you Charge a 2001 Cadillac's DTS battery?
The battery is under the rear seat. Remove it and charge it on a charger like anyother car battery. The reason I would remove the battery is that if there was a short and the battery blew up, acid would destroy the interior. And burn anyone nearby. Its a rare thing but it does happen.
Can you eat discharge?
Yes, but its like eating pus from another wound on your body. Also you should be careful as the reason for the discharge is important, if it is an fungal infection then eating the discharge may give you a fungal infection on your mouth. It's kind of gross anyways.
What are the different reason why a 93 Dodge Intrepid would overheat?
i just connected my ac belt and there was a black wire that was disconnected from the battery and i attached it back to the battery
