battery tests good, alternator tests good, new voltage regulator installed and still no charge to battery from altanator .
have the battery tested, average life of a battery is 2 to 3 years. if battery is good check voltage regulator and starter motor. there is a short somewhere if the battery is good
battery produces voltage by
You check the voltage under load. Even a bad battery may have good voltage if no current is flowing, so you need an appropriate "test" load.
It is a meter with a high wattage resistor connected parallel with the meter that drains power from the battery while it is measuring the voltage it is used to test the condition of the battery if the condition is good there will not be a large voltage drop while testing the battery
No. You need a good battery for the voltage and amperage to operate the starter.
Yes The larger the battery, the more voltage the battery has.
For lead-acid chemistry, as in a car battery, think 13.6 volts DC.
Obviously check the battery. Anyway, if the alternator, battery, and wires connecting them are good the voltage regulator is next on the list.
Should really charge it then test it with a proper battery load tester. All you can do on your own is get a multimeter and check the voltage. Without it running and having sat for a 1/2 hour or so the voltage should be approx 12-12.5 volts. Start the engine and if the alternator is good the voltage at the battery terminals should be 13-14 volts. If without the engine running the battery voltage is 12 or less this may indicate that the battery is not holding a charge. Even then the voltage should go to between 13-14 volts when engine is started showing that the alternator is working to charge the battery. If when started the battery voltage stays around 12-12.5 volts or less I would suspect the alternator. Just to double check there is the main power out terminal on the back of the alternator. With the engine running check the voltage. If 13-14 volts is present at the alternator but not the battery the circuit in between the alternator and battery is suspect. If the voltage at the alternator is the same as at the battery (12-12.5 or less) the alternator or voltage regulator may be defective.
yes more voltage
The battery is the voltage or power source, the wires form the conductor.
