Alternator Is Only Putting Out 30 Amps. Is It Charging the Battery At All?
Hi, All!
Long story short...
Got stranded at a filling station last night. '91 Nissan King Cab truck woudn't start. Did finally get it to start.
Drove to an auto parts store. Thought that I might need a new battery. Worker there checked the battery. Battery was drained. He then checked the alternator after jump starting my truck. Said that it was only putting out 30 amps when it should have been putting out 90 amps.
Ended up getting a new battery because the battery was so old. Probably need to get a new or used alternator.
At 30 amps, is the alternator charging up the battery at all?
Thanks!
