Does alternator on weak battery affect the RPM?
If you have the wrong size battery in a Cadillac with the northstar will it effect the alternator voltage?
Can the wrong size car battery damage the alternator?
No, not unless you installed a 6 volt battery instead of a 12 volt battery.
Why would the battery light come on for a 2001 Ford Escort ZX2?
either alternator or wrong size battery
How do you replace the alternator on a 1998 Chevy Full size truck?
first unhook the battery, then release the automatic belt tensioner and remove the belt, then unbolt the alternator and disconnect the wiring from the alternator....to reinstall, reverse the removal procedure
What batteries can be used on the 2001 GEM other than the Trojan?
You should be able to use any brand of battery the only thing that matter is where the battery posts are and the size of the battery.
Why is the power not going back into the battery from the alternator?
Alternator output fuse or fusible link under the hood, I can't believe the people that don't state make, model, year and engine size before posting a question.
Can the wrong size car battery damage the starter?
No. As long as the battery is a 12 volt battery the physical size of the battery does not matter. It can have 300 CCA or 600 CCA. It will still start the engine and will not damage the starter. The reason there are different sizes is so the fit in the battery space snugly and the battery post are oriented properly.
What size is the Regulator Plug Clocking for 2003 yukon Denali alternator?
your question makes no sense, clocking is the position of the plug, not related to the size of the plug or type of connector.
Does a bigger sized battery have a greater voltage?
A larger voltage rating: yes, of course. A larger size rating: these are not normally related to the voltage rating, which is separate. A larger physical size: normally this means a greater voltage, but again, they are not directly related to the voltage rating. Size has nothing to do with voltage. Battery voltage is controlled by the number of cells in the battery. Plate size affects current delivery.
If its not the alternator that's bad what is it i have changed the alternator but the lights and everything are still blinking?
You need to check and make sure the alternator is charging. You could have gotten a defective one or if you got a used one it may be bad. Get a digital multimeter and with the vehicle off check the voltage at the battery. Should be 12+ volts with a charged battery. Start the vehicle and check the voltage again, should be 13-14 volts or better. If no voltage increase check the big output terminal (thick red wire usually going to it) at the alternator and see it the alternator is putting out voltage. If no voltage other than battery voltage then the alternator is not working. This is assuming that the alternator has an internal voltage regulator (most now do). Without year/make/model/engine size it's very hard to give you decent direction other that generic help :-) **I am assuming you have tested the battery**
Where would a short occur if the battery and alternator are new?
?? I can't believe the people that don't state make, model, year and engine size before posting a question.
What size are the bolts on a 1995 Isuzu rodeo alternator?
The alternator retaining bolt size is 9/16. The alternator bolts will be three inches long. The alternator tensioner bolt is 9/16 by one inch.
