[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10541279, member: 11681"] Yes and here is how. Let's say the battery was not on a tender and went flat during storage. Owner jumps the car to start it with his other car. When the car starts and the cables are removed the alternator begins trying to charge a completely dead battery. That job is for battery chargers not alternators because an alternator is just designed for repeated top offs and maintaining a charge. Within a short period of time the alternator over heats and bites the dust. The battery is found to be bad and gets replaced, but now the light is on. Or it was just ready to fail anyway and the restart on the bad battery heated it up enough for it to tank. [/QUOTE]
