  • how come the car didnt start?

  • @tri400 The fuel pump fuse was removed as seen at the 0.40 sec mark of the video.

  • @richpin06a but the car did start after u removed the 10A fuel pump fuse....did u edit the video wrong or something?

  • @tri400 There was still gas in the fuel line.He was starting it the first time so it would empty the fuel line and fuel injection. This allowed him to get a reading on the battery during starter use without getting input power from the alternator.

  • Very good info for DIY people who have no other means of testing the battery. I like the fact you used actual values from Industry Standards and not a marginal opinion.

  • this is realy realy bad for you car !!!

  • You can pull the harness to the coil pack or distributor also to prevent the car from turning over during testing as well.

  • hey hey hey ha ha ha, thanks y'all.

  • Excellent video for those of us who don't have a battery load tester !!!

  • Thanks Richpin!

  • at the end of crank it appear that the car started and you turned it off. is that the case? is it suppose to start?

  • That was just starter noise.

  • thanks. I have another question regarding car battery chargers. is it good to recharge installed/working car battery regularly with the help of car battery charger as part of maintenance? Or the charger is only for emergency purpose when car wont crank

  • If you have a battery that is going to be unused for an extended period of time you need a unit called a Battery Tender.

  • @callmejacko Hi, I am truck certified and the computers on a big rig will drain all three batteries in less than a week when it is parked. The 'Battery Maintainer' (tender) is a good investment. I use a light bulb on my riding mower in the winter to draw off a little energy and recharge it at 1-Amp in the winter as part of normal maintenance to keep the battery working for many years. [This is a good question]

  • Why do you remove the fuel?

  • so that the car wont run, hence no significant output from the alternator.
