No problem, Barry. I kind of thought that might be a typo. Hope you get the truck sorted out. ---

> [@Barry56](#): > > Sorry guys it is a typo voice recognition sucks sometimes You know I’ve tried teaching the car voice recognition and just gave up. I don’t know where they got that person living in my dashboard but all she can say is “did you say . . .?” and I say no, I said . . . So it’s just a lot easier to push the buttons. ---

I have tested voice recognition in customer’s vehicles, feels like a step into the future when it operates without argument. ---

> [@](#): > > I think he’s talking about removing the battery with the engine running as an alternator test. Hi @Barry56: Even before cars began to use electronics, disconnecting a battery cable from a running engine always carried risk. That’s because alternators can produce voltage spikes which are harmful to the internal diodes. However, when the battery cables are connected, the battery acts as a “capacitor like buffer” to help quell or smooth out those spikes. ---

Exactly. On my Sportster the battery cable broke internally, and took out every light on the bike, and took out the turn signal module… When that happened and I tried to start it I had a battery charger on it I didn’t know it was broke. ---
