Scotty — the alternator is putting out LOW recharging voltage. It's enough to recharge a LOW battery but never enough to bring the battery all the way back up. Batteries are not re-charging themselves — they are de-polarizing themselves. During ANY battery recharge an OVER VOLTAGE is required. For lead-acid batteries the ideal charging voltage is 13.8. Consequently industry has mass-produced chargers exactly set — within reason — to this voltage. But a lower voltage will recharge a lead-acid battery to a lower level of charge. L-A batteries can run from ~ 12.6 volts down to 11 or less and still start a car. BTW, during the starting event, the system voltage can swing all the way down to ~ 6…7 volts — and the circuits still work and the starter will still turn. The lower voltage causes the amperage to really surge — so, yeah, a low battery is VERY hard on the starter, too. High amps really heats them up into ruin.
De-polarization happens as a chemical event. During every charging period, the ions within the battery electrolyte (the acid fluid) PILE UP at the battery plates. These ions counter the chemical force of the battery. When they are allowed to blend back into the acid bath, that's called depolarization. Suddenly, it seems like the battery re-charged itself. It didn't. It depolarized. In such a state, a BARELY viable battery can start the motor — but you'd better do so on a warm engine — as you're in a very marginal situation. Such a battery in such a state will not start a cold engine. You've finally crossed the line into utter failure. Such an owner had best jump all over this situation — or carry a snowboard and a parka on every excursion.
Diesel fuel gets sludgy and thick….
In a world of extremes we have good ol steady Freddy Scotty. Very dedicated to being real for the people. Thanks Scotty
Scotty's 94 Celica is all like, "I think we should go back to Humid Houston".
thanks i learn all kinds of cool stuff
How are you not cold Scotty?
Hey! That’s my truck in the background! Yes, please, Scotty can look over my truck anytime.
Peep the obs
I was in Wisconsin years ago, and the antifreeze in the radiator looked like a Mountain Dew slushy… the actual temp was 38 below zero when we departed for Indianapolis, and the heater core didn't thaw out until we were stuck in Chicago AM rush hour traffic. We we scraping ice off the inside of the windows, way too cold for me.
