What does it mean to charge a 12-volt battery with insufficient power by driving?
1 Answers
Possibilities of charging with insufficient power by driving are as follows: 1. The generator's output voltage is lower than the battery voltage: The generator is not working or there is a fault in the power supply line. In this case, the battery is supplying power while the vehicle is moving, and the generator and charging circuit should be inspected and repaired at a repair shop as soon as possible. 2. Belt breakage: The alternator belt is broken. 3. Generator: The alternator has a serious malfunction. The car can still operate normally when the battery indicator light is on for the following reasons: 1. Stored electrical energy: The car can continue to use the electrical energy stored in the battery until the battery is depleted. 2. After depletion, no part of the car will work: When the battery indicator light is on, the car can still be driven to the garage, which will not damage any components. However, it is necessary to reach the garage before the battery is completely depleted and the car stalls.
