What would cause a battery on a forklift to explode?

Overcharging by the alternator or if it is connected in reverse polarity.


If you reverse polarity on the battery and the fuses are fine and the alternator check out ok why would an 81 Toyota pick-up wont stay on whithout having your foot on the gas pedal?

When the truck is idling at low RPM, the charge supplied by alternator is not sufficient to run truck and charge battery of reverse polarity. Alternator expends majority of amperage toward charging (which never takes) and increase in RPM is required to spin alternator fast enough to accomodate ignition system and charging system in unison.

Is the LM3914 IC protected against reverse polarity?

i would never naturally assume any circuitry to be "reverse polarity" by default even if they are. since this can fry a lot of IC, and micro controllers. there are several options to adding a reverse polarity protection circuit to your project you can find three easy to implement circuits here: http://provideyourown.com/2012/reverse-polarity-protection-circuits/


What is reverse polarity-?

Reverse polarity is the opposite of normal polarity. Normal polarity in electronics is when you have the positive hooked up to the positive terminal and the negative to the negative terminal. Reverse polarity would be having the positive hooked up to the negative terminal and the negative to the positive terminal. The same concept can be used with magnets.


Would reverse polarity cause equipment to run even if switch is off?

The case of reverse polarity would only happen on a DC system. As to would it cause equipment to run when switched off, no, if the switch opens the equipment's power supply completely the device will not operate.


What happens to the load if reverse the polarity of diode?

if you reverse the diode in a half wave rectifier, you would expect the A- Ripple to increase B- output to be less filtered C- out put polarity to be reversed D- output voltage to decrease


Would an electric motor run in reverse if wired positive to negative and negative to positive?

A simple one would.


How do you reverse polarity natural magnet?

Demagnetize it, then remagnetize it the opposite direction. It's a lot of work and it would undoubtedly be easier just to repaint it and claim you reversed the polarity.


Which is an example of reverse polarity?

Reverse polarity means that the direction of an energy flow is opposite of normal. In house wiring, it would mean that the hot wire (in the US, the black wire) was crossed with theneutral wire (in the US, white wire). Appliances would still function, but the flow of current is reversed (and unsafe)


Why would a 2001 Hyundai Sonata reverse lights stay on and only turn off when shifting into reverse?

Sounds like the reverse switch is either damaged, or wired backwards... Did you have your clutch done recently?


What is reverse magnetic polarity?

lets say the earth was to have a magnetic polarity reversal the north pole would become the south pole, and the south pole would become the north pole. i hope that helps.


How would reduce the reverse polarity in magnetization of permanent magnet?

One way to reduce reverse polarity in a permanent magnet is by ensuring it is subjected to strong external magnetic fields in a controlled manner during the manufacturing process. This can help align the magnetic domains in the desired orientation and minimize the chances of reverse magnetization occurring. Additionally, using high-quality materials and adopting proper handling techniques can also help reduce the risk of reverse polarity in permanent magnets.
