Is it possible for vehicle electrical systems to continue working when the engine is running and the battery is removed? Is this applicable to all vehicles? If yes or no, please explain.

In most vehicles, the electrical system will continue to work when the engine is running even if the battery is removed. This is because the alternator, which is connected to the engine, generates electricity to power the electrical components of the vehicle while the engine is running.
However, there are some vehicles that may not be able to operate without a battery, as the battery is necessary to provide initial power to start the engine. In these cases, the vehicle may not be able to run without a battery even if the engine is running.
Overall, it is generally possible for vehicle electrical systems to continue working when the engine is running and the battery is removed, but there may be exceptions depending on the specific vehicle.

Yes, it is possible for vehicle electrical systems to continue working when the engine is running and the battery is removed, but it is not applicable to all vehicles.
Vehicles with Alternators:
- Most modern vehicles use alternators to generate electricity while the engine is running.
- Alternators provide a constant supply of electricity to the electrical system, bypassing the battery.
- In these vehicles, disconnecting the battery while the engine is running will have little to no immediate impact on the electrical systems.
Vehicles without Alternators:
- Older vehicles may use generators instead of alternators.
- Generators produce electricity only when the engine is at a high RPM.
- Disconnecting the battery in these vehicles with the engine running will cause the electrical systems to stop working within a short time as the generator will not be able to provide sufficient power.
Exceptions:
- Some vehicles may have additional electrical components, such as high-power headlights or sound systems, that require a battery to operate even when the engine is running. Disconnecting the battery in these vehicles may result in a loss of function for these components.
- Hybrid or electric vehicles typically rely heavily on their batteries, so removing the battery while the engine is running is likely to cause significant problems.
Summary:
In general, vehicles with alternators can continue to operate with the electrical systems intact when the battery is removed while the engine is running. However, this is not true for all vehicles, particularly older models with generators or vehicles with specific high-power electrical components or hybrid/electric systems.
