Message: <blockquote data-quote="Petras" data-source="post: 360327" data-attributes="member: 216"><p>not trying to call you out but this is not correct.  A short in the alternator can 100% have an effect on the battery when the vehicle is not running.  In fact it will have much more of an effect on the battery when the vehicle isn't running that it would if the vehicle is running.  At least when the vehicle is running, the alternator is producing energy to replenish the battery.  </p><p>Simply shutting the motor off does not cause a mechanical break in the wire going from the alternator to the battery and the alternator to ground (frame of the vehicle).  This is a hard connection and if there is a short in the alternator, it provides a path from positive to ground through the case of the alternator.</p></blockquote><p></p>
