I hope Spokey is smart enough to know that some cars (and thus the stereo) will continue to run if you disconnect the battery, and that when the battery is connected the stereo IS running off the battery, which is being charged by the alternator when the car is running.
Hopefully he knows that the output of an alternator is load-dependent, and not putting out max amperage at all times.

But since it's quiz time, I'll ask you this: What is YOUR stereo being powered by when the system current draw exceeds your car's alternator output? Or if your "build" isn't done yet, answer the question for any high-power system out there.
If you have to add a bunch of variables and add situations to the original statement to make yourself right then you were never right.

 
The law for MAID was passed 7 years ago, and you posted a news article about it here like a year ago.

Redundant.
Whatever you say, Mr. Mean.

A bunch of variables"? You mean like "a car audio system"? My "bunch of variables" speaks directly to your question.
Here's what you wanted to know, in case you forgot: "tell us that the battery is what runs the car stereo in a running car"


Answer the questions:
When the power draw of your system exceeds the alternator capability in that running car, what powers the system?
If your alternator is a 200 AMP unit but your system is drawing 400 AMPS with the car running, what happens when you disconnect the battery?
If you haven't finished your "build" yet, answer the questions for anyone's system that may have the specs I describe.

But, maybe I'll save you (and the rest of us) some time from your filibustering, spin, backpedaling, tapdancing :
My real-world examples within my questions show that the battery indeed DOES run the system in a running car. The alternator is there to keep the battery charged, and delivers amperage AS NEEDED.
A car will start and run without an alternator. A car will not start and run without a battery.

I'm sure you'll filibuster anyway, and if you do, remember to find an example of taking the battery out of a car and being able to start it and run it on just an alternator. Go to any resource you can find regarding how a car actually works, and do some learning.
For extra credit, tell us what the stereo system in a Tesla is powered by: battery or alternator?
 
Funny how the secretary keeps saying my name...it's like he's desperate for attention 😂
I didn't realize you had left the thread and should no longer be referenced as being involved in the conversations here.
Oh, but wait, here you are posting in the thread.

So which is it: You are here and part of it, or you are not here?
You can't have both.
 
Whatever you say, Mr. Mean.

No, it's not what I "say". It's actually a law on the books.
Don't you hate it when pesky facts get in the way?

"In February 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in Carter v. Canada that parts of the Criminal Code would need to change to satisfy the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The parts that prohibited medical assistance in dying would no longer be valid. The Supreme Court gave the government until June 6, 2016, to create a new law.

In June 2016, the Parliament of Canada passed federal legislation that allows eligible Canadian adults to request medical assistance in dying."


It's been built on and updated over the years.
"As of March 17, 2021, persons who wish to receive MAID must satisfy the following eligibility criteria:
  • be 18 years of age or older and have decision-making capacity
  • be eligible for publicly funded health care services
  • make a voluntary request that is not the result of external pressure
  • give informed consent to receive MAID, meaning that the person has consented to receiving MAID after they have received all information needed to make this decision
  • have a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability (excluding a mental illness until March 17, 2024)
  • be in an advanced state of irreversible decline in capability
  • have enduring and intolerable physical or psychological suffering that cannot be alleviated under conditions the person considers acceptable"

The fact is I am correct. The only way you are correct is if you move the goal post. You manipulate the conversation, change or add things to the statement to make yourself correct. Why? Because you know if you just read the statement you know it's correct and nobody but you is allowed to be correct because I didn't vote for Biden.

No "goalpost" has been moved. You want to make a universal claim? Then that universal claim must be...(wait for it)...UNIVERSAL. It must apply to ALL situations in order to be...(wait for it)...UNIVERSAL.
A car electrical system is powered first by the battery, then by the alternator.
Automotive 101.


Of course, you'll filibuster for another 5 pages, because the answers you have to give will show you once again screwed up, thinking you had a "gotcha" moment.
Maybe make an effort to know what you are talking about before you try any more "gotcha"s.
 
It's funny that Buck thinks hitting "dislike" on factual information hurts me in some way or changes the facts.

The guy who has been whining about social credit scores for over a year is trying to utilize a social credit scoring system.
Ironic.

Nothing will power the system. The alternator puts out more power than the battery so if the alternator demand has been overcome by the system any power in the battery is already gone or will be gone soon.

Are you getting power from the power stations or from the batteries in your walls at Grandma's house?

Stop running your mouth about me to try and draw me and others into a useless argument. You have no larger point to anything you say, so stfu, please, if you’re just here to argue about whatever you can just to trick people into arguing about anything. You’re like a never ending hole of darkness.

Oh? What alternator do you know of that puts out more amperage than a car battery?
Let's go with a battery for a compact car. 650 Cold Cranking Amps.
What alternator can swing 650 Amps?

That doesn't speak to what powers a car electrical system.
Remove the alternator and turn the key to "on". What happens?

Like I said, you spoke what you believed to be a universal truth and tried to hit me with a "gotcha".
But you screwed up again and didn't bother to know the facts.
It happens. To you.
