  • no dude an alternator powers everthing in your car .switch every thing on lights radio wypers and disconnect the battery all the electronics stays on. everything electronic is funtional with out the battery while the engine is on idol via alternator

  • who ever said free power? thats dumb dude, sorry but its plain ignorant. its an alternator, it sustains a potential difference by means of voltage. simply creates an electric current that charges the battery up and powers the spark plugs and all the mumbo jumbo inside your car... ok? nobody said perpetual movement

  • Now that was useless!

  • Just put a solar panel on the roof. Who needs an alternator?

  • @coolaidkiller101 A car alternator can theroetically run away if you disconnect the battery, potentially resulting in hundreds of volts output, with subsequent fires following. It's more unlikely on modern cars however, as the voltage regulator is more precise and quick.

  • NO explanation on how to identify if its broken or not wtf? Wud a waste of time.

  • And your point was?

  • Bonito de mamãe... Vou decifrá-lo!

  • @weekendwarrior58 have you tryed the opposite as run the car on alternator no batts

  • @weekendwarrior58 try this,

    1 turn your car on and leave it on idle

    2turn your lights on and your radio whatever you have but dont crank it because an alternator can give about 50-70amps

    3take the battery lead off the car do both if you want to, and voila your lights and radio stay on right? because they should ,i already tryed it on a old peogeot 106 and a jeep,

  • @coolaidkiller101 the alternator recharges/ keeps your battery charged. everything electrical runs off the battery. all the alternator does is keep your battery from dying i was on a race team where we built a circle track car that didn't run a alternator just a strong battery, and i also after replacing the alternator on my car forgot to plug it in and drove around for about a half hour so so with ac and radio on until my battery died so yeah just felt the need to correct you

  • @poweressen

    Yes! That analogy is borderline genius LOL.
