Subject:Fully-charged battery for alternator install?
From:Todd Brown
Date:Tue, 4 May 2010 09:32:41 -0700

I read something recently in the archives referencing a fully-charged battery when installing a new alternator.  I have a new battery but it has been a bit depleted by a worn-out alternator.  A rebuilt one is on the way, and I was curious if current wisdom recommends that I put the battery on a charger before installing the replacement alt?  Or would it by OK to let the new alt charge the battery?

Thanks!
