[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 7574947, member: 541383"] A sulfated crystalized battery will not charge and in a low state will create a load for the alternator. The altenator puts out power to the load it has placed on it. There is nothing in the cars electrical system to tell the alternator anything but put power to the load presented as its reaction with a properly working battery it would tail off as the battery takes a charge and continues to charge. The battery when sulfated is basically working more as a resitor not doing much in this state. Too much power going to the battery in this state produces heat for a few reasons, alternator gets hot because the battery WONT charge and thus continues to work hard. This heat causes the sulfation to get worse causing the crystals to grow. If the crystals are formed deep in the pores of the lead the crystal growing will damage the plate. This can also cause the plates to shead. [/QUOTE]
