Will a 12 volt battery be damaged if charged with a 24 volt charger?
Yes, a 12 volt battery will be damaged if charged with a 24 volt charger.
How do you start a 1994 crown vic with alternator problems?
If the alternator is bad the car will still start. You just need a fully charged battery. Once running then you can check the charge rate from the battery with a volt meter.
How you charged the 12 volt battery?
Charge it with a 12 volt battery charger.
What is the voltage output for the alternator on a 2002 Kia Spectra?
It has to be 13 plus volts to keep the battery charged. The car requires a 12 volt battery to start and run this vehicle, so you need more then 12 volts to keep the battery charged.
Can the wrong size car battery damage the alternator?
No, not unless you installed a 6 volt battery instead of a 12 volt battery.
What is high volt?
Alternator is sending to much volts to battery. Suppose to turn itself off when battery gets to around 13 volts. May need new alternator.
What will cause s new battery in a 2000 Chevy venture to die?
Alternator is defective and is not keeping the battery charged. Or, you have a light or relay that is on pulling power from the battery. Start the engine and check the voltage at the battery with a digital volt meter. You should have 13.5 to 15.5 volts if the alternator is good.
Battery not staying charged?
Most likely the alternator, run a volt meter on the battery while the engine is running. Should have 14.5 volts. Less than 13, replace the alt.
When bad battery cause dc car voltage ok. cause ac volt on car running show what ac volt is ok?
Vehicles run DC. 13.5 - 14+ volts at battery is o/k. Shows alternator is charging but won't tell you amp output. If the battery is bad you will wear out the alternator as it trys to keep a bad battery charged (it will work itself to death)
Can you connect a 12 volt auto alternator to a 24 volt system to charge the batteries?
If you connect an alternator that has been designed for charging a 12 volt battery to any 24 volt system in an attempt to charge its batteries, that alternator will not work because of either of two different reasons:if the 24 volt battery is completely dead or flat the 12 volt alternator will not be able to charge it to much above 18 volts. That is about as much practical use as having a flat 24 volt battery!if the 24 volt battery is not "flat" but has a voltage that is in its normal range - between about 23 volts and 27 volts - the 12 volt alternator would not do anything because its output voltage cannot go high enough.Some more facts:12 volt systemsAn alternator designed to charge a nominal 24 volt battery will have a voltage and current regulation system to control its output voltage between about 13.5 and 18 volts and an output current that could vary between zero and about 40 or 50 amps.The overall range of current amperage output from the alternator would vary from vehicle to vehicle depending on the sizes of the alternator and battery and those in turn would be sized to match the likely normal current amperages drawn by the vehicle's ignition, night-time road lighting, air conditioning and other systems.The actual charging voltage and current being output from the alternator at any instant depends on the "state of charge" of the 12 volt car battery. A nominal 12 volt lead-acid type car battery that is flat has a voltage of about 11.5 volts or less. One that is fully charged would have a voltage of about 13.5 volts.24 volt systemsAn alternator designed to charge a nominal 24 volt battery will have a voltage and current regulation system to control its output voltage between about 27 and 36 volts and an output current that could vary between zero and about maybe 80 or 100 amps.The overall range of current amperage output from the alternator would vary from vehicle to vehicle depending on the sizes of its alternator and battery and those in turn would be sized to match the likely normal current amperages drawn by the vehicle's ignition, night-time road lighting, air conditioning and other systems.The actual charging voltage and current being output from the alternator at any instant depends on the "state of charge" of the 24 volt vehicle battery. A nominal 24 volt lead-acid type battery that is flat has a voltage of about 23 volts or less. One that is fully charged would have a voltage of about 27 volts.Only in the instance where two 12 volt batteries were connected in series to produce power for a 24 volt system, could a method be devised to use a 12 volt alternator to charge the batteries independently.
What is the reading on your alternator supposed to be?
With the battery fully charged (12.68 Volts) and a volt meter connected to the positive and negative battery posts, run engine at idle with no accessories on, voltage reading should be aprox 14.2.
What is the capacity of a car battery?
It is a 12 volt battery. Fully charged it will read 12.6 volts with a digital volt meter.
