Comments (2)Most rider engines have an alternator located under the flywheel. The alternator consists of magnets and a coil of wires. The ignition system magnets are not part of the alternator. Here are some thoughts on the dead battery. If the engine was stalled and the ignition/starter switch was left in the on position, there may have been an electrical draw from the afterfire solenoid. Your ignition switch may have been turned to the headlight position after the engine was stopped....See Moredead battery question

Comments (17)Genes - I did try your suggestions - and the Dell won't power up. Wiggling the adapter didn't make a difference. Kay - I'm curious why Dell thought it might be a battery? And I don't have any steps I can walk you through beyond what Genes outlined. Unfortunately, my Dell won't power up. There are replacement batteries on Amazon for just over $20 - so maybe it's worth trying that in case a Dell just won't power up if the batter is bad - whether it's plugged in or not. --------------------- On a separate note, I did get the battery replacement for my lenovo - and it works. Now I can unplug my laptop and get about 3-4 hours (which isn't great - but running on battery is not what I usually need). I did calibrate it once. Charge it fully - let it discharge fully until it shut off. Then recharged it fully. The battery came with instructions to do that once. I am confused, however, as I thought Li-ion batteries didn't need that at all - and that batteries that do need that need a few cycles of it. So I'm wondering if I should go through a couple of more charge and discharge cycles. Thank you. Lynn....See Moreckr74
