Is it your alternater or your battery? Before you go changing an alternator right away. Check everything out. Do a draw down test on the batt. Check to make sure all connections are tight and free of corrosion. Check to insure gauge is reading correctly.

That depends on how honest you are. There is a good chance that someone else is being charged for your bill, there are often times screw ups in the wiring and he electrical setup, so if you are an honest person, you should call and find out for sure what is going on.

You would wire them in parallel so that the voltage would be the same across each of them, because in parallel the amperage increases, not the voltage.  If you were to wire them in series, then the voltage would add to 48 volts, which would destroy your electrical system.  You would likely need a better alternator to handle the charging of all of these batteries, too but I'm not sure on the specs of an alternator that you'd need.

The meter should have some literature with it.\n\nWrite to the manufacturer and ask for it.

Even though the battery says its charged it may be bad. Do you know someone with the same laptop, so you can borrow thier batttery to test it.

It is best to take it to the dealer you bought it from. Have them show you how.

Hmm, either you had your power plug accidentally unplugged and now the battery is charging (check your tray area in the bottom right for an icon that resembles a battery and hover your mouse pointer over it to see if it is charging).\nIf not, then it is possible that the battery is damaged and can no longer hold a charge, in which case it would continue to show a yellow light, but checking it periodically, it would likely not add any charge to it any longer. Then the battery would have to be replaced.

i was told when i took mine in that after about 400 charges that it would lose about %80 if its power and then go downhill after that. i know that you can get it replaced for not a ridiculous amount of money.

Happened to a couple of my cars. Take yours to a transmission shop. There's no quick fix.

Yes it is! i had this happen to me while living in an older house. Contact your electric company asap. I didn't and was liable for the extra on the bill. They told me that whenever you notice a problem, report it soon.  You'll save money but be out of what you've already used.

It could either be the starter or the alternator, the easiest way to find out without a lot of work is remove the alternator and take it to an auto parts store (most of them test them for free).  If it test out OK check the wire to your starter to make sure it has a good connection. If that is good then you can remove the starter and have it tested, not to hard to replace the starter but they can be expensive so it is a good idea to test it first, and maybe get it rebuilt.

yeah get a new one(and dosent have to be k&n) walmart sells them, and then get the k&n charger kit($9.99) to help keep out the dirt and other small things that can get passed in to your motor without and oil from the charger kit.or get a new cold air intake off ebay for real cheep.

Call the store you purchase it at and report the problem or take it back and get another one okay

Dissconnect the negative cable from the Battery.\nRemove the serpitene belt.\nRemove the support bolts.(3)\nDissconnect the connector and the posotive wire on the altinator.\nThen reinstall the same opposite way.

Guess what. You have to move the AC out of the way. If you haven't changed spark plugs recently do it while the ac is out of the wat.
