Have your battery tested, often two parts of a system go bad at the
same time, throwing the other in stress. Then put a volt meter in-between the your positive terminal and start testing for a short and what you have to remove to stop the short.

Alternators and voltage regulators often go hand-in-hand.
Your local auto parts store can do an charging system review in a few minutes, often for free. "curbrider" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... > my alternator stopped charging i replaced it now the volts show over > charging but new battery was dead in 5 min any help is welcome thanks > |

What are you driving and what engine?
You are describing a bad connection. Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's curbrider wrote: > > my alternator stopped charging i replaced it now the volts show over > charging but new battery was dead in 5 min any help is welcome thanks |

Now you are talking a dead computer because it got fried from the
alternator surging with no battery buffer. Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's curbrider wrote: > > 91 jeep cherokee 4.0 replaced alternator and it over charge even with the > battery disconneted |

How can the alternator even work with the battery gone? Generators work
fine with no battery, alternators do not since they need +12 volts from the battery for the exciter voltage before they will work.

The diode is popped instantly when the battery is disconnected
while running, you need another rebuilt alternator. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O http://www.billhughes.com/ curbrider wrote: > > 91 jeep cherokee 4.0 replaced alternator and it over charge even with the > battery disconneted |

Once excited, it's another story - the alternator needs on the order of a couple of amps in the rotor to produce full output so if you keep the battery on long enough to get past a certain point (and it doesn't take much) then disconnect it, the alternator will continue to operate at up to near rated output until it is shut down in some way (stopped, etc.). The ones I've played with have had miserable regulation and horendously noisy outputs, but they do work. A few even got so far out that they exceeded the voltage ratings for their diodes and fried them. -- Will Honea |
