Should the alternator start charging the battery straight away when I start a 2005 liana 1.6
Bought a Suzuki 1.6 liana 2005 had a dead battery got a second hand one
everything seemed fine then got home and it totally shut down on me! Next
morning jump started it and managed to get it to a mechanic who said had a
bad alternator bought one from eBay fitted it in but that one wasn't charging
too! So frustrated bought a new one but was told need a new battery so got a
new one the car was on for an hour with lights on and everything and
everything was fine had it for two days went all over with it no check lights the
car seems fine ..
This morning had a chat with a naighbor who thought of checking the
alternator with his avometer and said its not charging!??!
Shocked I went straight back to the mechanic who told me not to worry it
does charge but might not give a reading at the spot???
Is that true?
