Experience Licensed contractor in Closter New Jersey.
Education/Credentials "The Frank Williams School of Electrical Construction". My dear old boss is 96 and still going God Bless him. I started working for "Tenafly Electric" right out of high school at 19. He was tough but I learned more working for him in 8 and half years than most guys. We did mostly industrial work while doing some commercial and residential so I was fortunate to be exposed to all 3 areas of electrical construction. The guys I worked with were all good guys and I stay in touch with some of them still. Most of us went into our own buisness's which says something about the caliber of the guys I worked with. We had some interesting clients : Wella Corp. of shampoo fame, Farah Fawcett etc, I didn't buy shampoo for 10 years, it was a great place to work. Pan Am the X airline just before they went under, another great place to work, nice clean environment. C&C Metals, the largest button manufacturer in the US, a not so clean environment but a very interesting place to work, lots of machine's cranking out buttons of all kinds but you had to be on your toes, it was a potentially dangerous place to be . All kinds of action going on around you.
Why does a car battery loose its power if the engine is not turned on for too long?
How does a car alternator avoid overcharging the battery when the engine is running?

Answer The type of battery that is in a car is desigined for short bursts of high amps to start the car and run its electrical components. Unlike some batterys it is not designed to hold a full charge for very long. It needs constant use to stay fully charged other wise it will begin losing it. Depending upon the condition of the battery that may happen quickly or it may take a couple months where it discharges to the point where it won't start the car.
Thats where the voltage regulator comes in. It senses what the electrical needs are at the time and acts accordingly.
