What you know about rollin' down in the deep?
When your brain goes numb, you can call that mental freeze
When these people talk too much, put that shit in slow motion, yeah
I feel like an astronaut in the ocean, ayy

I feel like an astronaut in the ocean
She say that I'm cool (damn straight)
I'm like yeah, that's true (that's true)
I believe in G-O-D (ayy)
Don't believe in T-H-O-T
She keep playing me dumb (play me)
I'ma play her for fun (uh-huh)
Y'all don't really know my mental
Lemme give you the picture like stencil
Falling out, in a drought
No flow, rain wasn't pouring down (pouring down)
See, that pain was all around
See, my mode was kinda lounged
Didn't know which-which way to turn
Flow was cool but I still felt burnt
Energy up, you can feel my surge
I'ma kill everything like this purge (ayy)
Let's just get this straight for a second, I'ma work
Even if I don't get paid for progression, I'ma get it (get it)
Everything that I do is electric
I'ma keep it in a motion, keep it moving like kinetic, ayy (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Put this shit in a frame, better know I don't blame
Everything that I say, man I seen you deflate
Let me elevate, this ain't a prank
Have you walkin' on a plank, la-la-la-la-la, like
Both hands together, God, let me pray (now let me pray)
Uh, I've been going right, right around, call that relay (Masked Wolf)
Pass the baton, back and I'm on
Swimming in the pool, Kendrick Lamar, uh
Want a piece of this, a piece of mine, my peace a sign
Can you please read between the lines?
My rhyme's inclined to break your spine
They say that I'm so fine
You could never match my grind
Please do not, not waste my time

One thing that doesn't quite make sense is when both the alternator and battery are powering electrical components simultaneously, how can current travel in both directions in the negative ground battery cable connecting to the vehicle chassis? If the alternator is charging the battery, then you have current going to the chassis from the negative battery terminal to be grounded but if the battery is also powering electrical components you have current flowing back to the battery from the negative ground cable to the negative battery terminal. How can you have current flowing in both directions at the same time? I do not think the electrical demands of the vehicle will ever reach the point where the battery will kick in to aid the alternator in powering those components. Aren't alternator max amperage close to 100A. Can someone please explain this to me, would greatly appreciate it.

The alternator charging will turn on and off while driving - the voltage regulator does this, to prevent from overcharging the battery. You can usually see the battery level gauge on dash move back and forth a little while driving. This will tell you charging system is working. if it doesn't, you may soon have a low volt situation. engine likely to start running erratically (as fuelpump and fuel injectors begin to falter.
Be familiar with your battery gauge operation and always monitor it while driving - that's what it's for!

To test ANY lower source you need to place a small load on it. This will show you the voltage in the battery.
These idiots who think super capacitors can replace a battery are soooooo wrong as once ANY load on a capacitor will immediately drop the voltage in a capacitor. The voltage reading in a cap WILL drop each time load is placed in it, not so with a battery.

So think twice before installing overpowered amps/subwoofers on stock battery and alternator. and maybe even throw in huge capacitor just to have one extra device for your vehicle to charge like it's not enough already: D There's just not so much it can provide extra taken into account what the car needs for itself.

you say that once the car is running that the electrical needs of the vehicle are powered from the alternator but doesn't the battery continue to run all the electrical needs of the car always and the alternator is just providing more current to the battery for those needs as well as charging needs?

I had to give you a thumbs down on this one because you got the current directions backwards. While it may have been partially correct for hole flow, that is a non-standard description these days. Especially when verbally referring to the flow of electrons.

Its always good idea to have jumper cables in your vehicle, batteries do not last more than 4 years in hot parts of the country, if your engine always starts on one click you will never know if your battery is weak and will give no warning when it fails.

Now why do my grasscutter die when i remove the battery? It got an engine. Same for my ATV it doesnt run without a working battery.
ATV even got a rope to start it but still it wont run without a fully working battery.

I have seen that you can test a battery admittedly an AA one with a 100ohm (5W) resistor in series with the multimeter set to current (amps) can you do this with a car battery to test how good the battery is?

If you have 11V or lower on your battery it does not necessarily mean that battery not functioning properly. It could be a generator fault, it could be discharged by other equipment or frequent starting.

Recently my battery had 12 volts but it didnt cranck the starter motor, i went to servie and they tested my battery using a special tool that measure amps. So multimeters are not enough to test a battery.

Battery also dampens spikes and stabilize voltage. If you remove the battery while the engine is running you can damage electronics since the battery is not available to absorb spikes in voltage.

and since i watched your video about conventional current theory, vs electron flow theory i can see you used the wrong method in your animation, but you labeled it. lol. jk, i enjoy your work

Oho, this is the most simplest to understand explanation of a car electrical system. If it is possible more of those car electrical wiring explation ECU and wiring diagrams? Thank you!

I didn't see anything about testing a battery a battery can have the 12v reading and still be bad because it's not putting out the required amps usually because of a weak cell

Actually if it starts the engine first crank, the battery is good. If the voltage from the alternator is less than 13. 8 Vdc, you got a charging system problem

I was charging another car battery with my car battery and my friend said if i push the gas pedal it would charge faster or more current is that correct?

I need to use this video to help teach my kids as they are new to driving and I think they need a basic understanding of the various systems of a car.

What if while the engine is running instead of 14v it display 13. 8? What exactly does this mean, a problem with the alternator, the battery or both?

Oof when he said the battery is normally located under the hood. I think to all the brands that put it under the passenger seat, or in the trunk.

Best to test battery with 100-amp load tester to see if voltage stays within range for stated amp battery otherwise you may get stuck somewhere.

It's always good to check the battery (-) to engine (earth) voltage drop, as a bad connection here can give the symptoms of a duff battery.

My car stereo has a setting that tells me how much power the battery is kicking out, like the video says, pretty much bang on 14 when running

My battery is 8 years old and won't spin it over when it gets really cold. I think I know its condition without any testing.

Temperature is sometimes to take into consideration. The colder it is outside, the lower the output voltage will be

Should have added, how to test for leaking current, and a warning, not to test the starting current with multimeter!

Why can't the alternator and starter be one and the same unit? they are both electric motor / generator correct?
