460 Auto 1.8i - Can a dodgy Starter Motor affect a battery ?

[RameshUK]

Hi All,

A friends Volvo 460 had the battery replaced a year ago. Then he got a battery replaced this weekend.

Q: Can a poor starter motor damage a battery ?

Cheers

thanks for the quick reply.

Not sure about the alternator, but the gentleman in question knows a fair bit about cars but it's been a long while (he says).

As the battery was replaced a yr ago - he's just wondering
whether a poor/duff starter motor can affect a battery ?

he said he knows about the alternator & battery relationship.

thx again !
