[QUOTE="jedi, post: 1064588360, member: 1336"] Doesn't mean your alternator is dying, it could be pumping out insufficient power or maybe due to the old wire... maybe your alternator pumps out 13.8V but when it reaches the -ve terminal you have 12.4V left. so if you turn on the headlamp, 12.4V might be insufficient then engine die off[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] I think I did not describe it clearly. When my engine is off, i measured the battery, it's 12.8V, Then I start the engine & measure, it's 13.3V. Then I turn on the headlamp + radio and measure, it's 13.09V Then I unplug the -ve terminal while the engine is still running, the engine WON'T die off, still running... headlamp & radio still operating like normal As I know, alternator shall produce 13.8V-14.2V, but mine when I measure, it's between 13.09V-13.3V... that's why I am asking is it due to the oversized NS70 battery [/QUOTE]
