Thread: HELP " Batterie NOT charging "

Hi kaistuff, you are sure as hell having some fun.
Start by running your motor and measuring the voltage across the terminals of the battery.

Now get your revs up a bit and see if there is any change.

depending on how low the battery is, there should be a slight rise in voltage.

Then turn your headlights on and measure the volts at the battery again.

If there is little or no change in voltage then I think you may have a stuffed battery.

If there is a large drop then you may still have a problem with the alternator or your voltage reg.

This is just a point of reference and you may need to see an auto elec and get the battery load tested.

Cheers.

PS How long did you drive the vehicle before decided the battery was not being charged.

Hi drivesafe

the voltage drop on the batteries terminals is only .1V

withe headlights on drop ts .2V
h beam another .2V
diving lights another .2V

starting at 12.9V

drive for about 5 min

turn every thing of voltage is back to 12.8 to 12.9

r****** engine to ~3000 rpm no change in voltage out put on the alternator

12.9 V be for and at revs


?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????

OK... A couple of pointers for you:

1 - Is the battery dash warning light working? If not, the alternator will not charge. How to test? Just turn the ignition key to the point where the lamp should be lit.

2 - The alternator requires a +12v feed to tell it to charge. Without this, you can turn it all you want but it won't charge. Check the wiring to make sure that's happening. To test, just connect the terminal on the alternator to the battery while the engine is running. If that is the problem, it should suddenly kick in.

Dirty battery/alternator connections.
Poor Earth.

NO No cleand them all with sand paper nice and clean

Ahh but are you sure the alternator is earthed as some use rubber bushes that act like insulators.

Well... The ship carrying the 110 should have arrived today so assuming I can get it out of customs in time (do we have any useful contacts here?? :wink then I hope to be along on the weekend.

Failing that, I'm in town for the next 4 weeks so I'm sure we could arrange something.
