Thank you for the easy instructions. I have a fairly new (6 months) battery not holding a charge on a 2001 Camry with 200k miles. I’ve never checked an alternator before so was hesitant to try by myself. Now I can! It’s the next step then on to the other possible causes of battery drain. Great video!
Have you done the mult- meter test from HF? I have several free meters as gifts HF. Sit as many as you have an rest off same battery at same time to see how accurate they are to each other?
Great video To the point Quick and easy I have a 110 amp on my F350 super duty. Do you recommend I get a higher amp alternator if I pull a fifth wheel and have truck and rv lights,ac,radio and phone chargers on when traveling at night?
Your F350 came with a substantial alternator since it most likely came with a towing package with a towing module for trailer brakes and etc. Before I purchased a higher amp alternator, I would first see if the one you already have can easily handle the added load without having any excessive voltage drop.
Is it starting up and running, or is it reading 0.1 while cranking? The starter will pull down to about 9.6 volts while cranking but anything lower than that then you have a bad battery or a bad cable causing some serious voltage drop
I think a better name for this video would be Continuity Check. With the ignition off, use the resistance check function (center setting upside down horseshoe). Should read 0 ohms (and give a beep).
Very good information 👍😊. I especially like how you showed the Voltage Drop tests,looking for bad connections 👍😊.
Glad it was helpful, and I appreciate you watching!
Great video. My Jeep died tonight and this will help me troubleshoot it. If you're near the Target in D'Iberville I might need some help haha.
Well your in my neck of the woods for sure
@@SkillSavvyDIY Nice!

You’re welcome, glad it helps
An honest straight foword video.
Thanks for watching!
Happy 4th of July Rus!. Another helpful video, a tool I have and clueless about 😂. Definitely helpful! Cheers brother 🍻
Thanks! You too!
Perfectly explained..you're spot on bro. Cheers 🍻
Thanks Stephen! Cheers!
Indeed - very good information to know & how to utilize a volt meter. I'll definitely give this a try. Thank you sir!
You’re welcome and thank you for watching!
Great work
Thanks
Thank You Rus!!!👍👍 Happy 4th of July Brother.✌✌✌
Hope you're having a good one and thanks for watching Damoose
Thank you for the useful info. Much appreciated.
You're welcome, thank you for watching, it helps out a lot!
Great explanation. Have a great 4th.
Thanks, you too!
Thanks man 🎉
Any time! Thanks for watching
Flukes are one of the best in the mobile field , and for bench top models also ....
That's all I will depend on. Been using them for many years. Thanks for watching Boo!
Thanks for this video I thought 1385 would have been a bad number but it’s fine.
You're welcome and thanks for watching!

No I haven't. All I use is Fluke multimeters. They are one of the most accurate multimeters in the world at 0.5% to 0.025%
0.0 volts from alternator to positive terminal?
Great video
To the point
Quick and easy

Good video Rus thank YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......PS when are you gonna put up some cooking videos ???
Thanks Frank. I’m shooting a video tomorrow for the cooking channel. Should be out by Monday
What does it mean when it reads 12.3 volts on the battery when car is off but 0.1 volts when car starts
Is it starting up and running, or is it reading 0.1 while cranking? The starter will pull down to about 9.6 volts while cranking but anything lower than that then you have a bad battery or a bad cable causing some serious voltage drop

(center setting upside down horseshoe). Should read 0 ohms (and give a beep).
It’s just a simple voltage drop test to test for bad connections or bad cables.
It’s all good now! Lol!
Yeah after spending $129 on a new battery lol. It lasted almost 6 years so that's actually pretty darn good.
Clear explanation just subscribed to your channel
Thank you and I appreciate the sub!
