Yes, but quite slowly and you shouldn't use it as a method to charge a battery low on power as it can be harmful and might reduce the lifetime of the battery
>>
>>13882728
When an engine idles the alternator turns backwards draining the battery faster than just using it with the car off.

If you're sitting anywhere for a while using the stereo make sure to turn the car off.

dammit, is there a time where you're not online? do you ever sleep?

Reworking a larger assignment for college
No time for sleep

>>13882764
If you were reworking a larger assignment for college you wouldn't be shitposting on the 4chins, you'd be too busy reworking on a larger assignment for college.

Unless you're really like all of us; too far gone in the addiction of 4chan that there's no escape.

Is this for real? How would the alternator EVER turn backwards? If an engine turns backwards it's fucked, so why would an alternator (that is attached with a belt to the crankshaft) ever turn backwards?
>>
>>13882743
only if your alternator has a 0.6 A/R or higher, but they are capable of creating 1.2 pressure ratios from idle
>>
Generally the alternator does not kick in completely until 3000ish RPM.
Revving the fuck out of your engine will charge the battery.
>>
>>13882728
around 1500 rpm is that sweetspot

Damn, and i thought you were cool....

It wasnt the engine though...

>>13883366
What was wrong with that corvette anyway? Did it over heat like the other ones?
>>
>>13883435

It was pretty sad. No power at all, misfiring like a bitch, and wouldn't make boost. I'm honestly surprised it didn't spit the blades directly into the engine and blow the whole thing to smithereens.

Your memes are stale as shit bro.
