[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8700733, member: 675210"] It is not a typographical error. To prove my point, remove your battery and start your car. The alternator is like a battery tender/charger in a way when the vehicle is running. Which is why it has a voltage regulator. When it senses the drop in voltage (from the battery) it will supply more power to the battery to bring it back up to the correct voltage. The battery is what is connected to the fuse panel, not the alternator because the battery is supplying the power, the alternator is maintaining the battery. Can an alternator run a car, sure, but that is NOT its job. [/QUOTE]
