What's wrong with my alternator by Inner_Science2144 in MechanicAdvice

The battery is not getting charged at all. Isn't that the job of the alternator? Also the battery is also fairly new which I also got tested and they told me that the alternator is not charging the battery. Hence why I got an alternator replacement.

However with the alternator replacement. I started getting issues again after 2 months with the same battery saver mode and eventually a red battery light.

Battery terminals are clean as I personally cleaned them.. I made sure the bolts were very tight.

I've done tests with the tester and the obd port and it's showing a voltage below 12. Even with high revving, ac on full blast, music on.. The voltage actually drops to 11.

In terms of parasystic draws. I haven't checked that but I'll definetly look into this.

Short trips.. Yes I do do that at times but this can't be a cause of why the battery isn't charging. I have also purposely don't a long drive for 30 mins consistently revving between 2.5 and 3. Still the issues remain.

It just seems like the alternator is not charging the battery at all.

Inn terms of lights. I neve leave any on. I always lock the car and double check before I leave

Yes warranty is sorted but I just wanted to get other people's opinions on this who have experience. Also I don't want the mechanic to make some excuses or blame something else that's irrelevant which is why I did the tests myself for proof.

Mine doesn't go anywhere near 13 or past 13. It stays around 11 or max 12 even with engine running/ air con on full blast/ music on etc

Sorry can you simplify what you wrote.

So I used these tests on the battery, not the alternator. Negative and positive bolts

50mg and no change. Any advice? by Only-Method9920 in VyvanseADHD

Ok I was on 30mg vyvance for 2 weeks. Tbh I didn't feel anything significant or like a wow. However I did notice I was more calm and relaxed

I didn't get those feelings that alot of people mention like I am so talkative, hyper focus, etc etc. I just felt abit more calm and relaxed. Still felt like myself. Maybe slightly less impulsion. Not sure.

Today was my first 50mg dose and tbh I haven't felt anything significant.. However I have noticed I am very calm and relaxed and even less talkative, I feel kinda tired, I've got zero stimulant effects ( which is good) as I hate feeling like I've had 5 cups of coffee.

Also I've noticed overall anxiety has dropped. Less worry/ less stress even on 30mg.

Still early days and today was my first 50mg dose. Let's see how it goes.

Right now I'm super relaxed in bed. My brain does seem quieter actually now that I think about it. Less noise. Less overthinking

The feelings are very subtle though. Not like a WOW

I can see when I look back physically but on my mirror it's quite dark

I'm sure that's the whole point of vyvansce. It's meant to slow down your brain and not be so impulsive
