[QUOTE="Gary DiPietroSr, post: 554442, member: 52784"] This is from another site: Test the alternator by disconnecting the battery with the engine running. A battery as like a voltage stabilizer or filter to the pulsating DC produced by the alternator. Disconnecting a battery while the engine is running can destroy the electronic components, e.g., computers, radio, stereo, alarm system, etc., or the charging system. Just say NO! if anyone suggests this. As Bill mentioned NEVER remove ANY battery connection while the engine is running. The problem is called "load dump"; and the system voltage can jump to 300volts or more for a split second and cause an injury to components like the ignition, injection, instruments, etc. The nasty result is these electronic components may not fail immediately, but become walking wounded and fail somewhere down the road.
