Can a car battery be charged if the car is started but not moving?

It is possible to charge a car battery when the car is started but not moving, although the charging effect is not optimal, and it takes a long time to fully charge the battery. The prerequisite for charging is to ensure that all electrical appliances in the car (except for the engine running) are turned off. The car battery can be charged while idling, but to some extent, it will consume the car's fuel, and prolonged idling may also lead to carbon buildup in the engine. The following are precautions for charging a car battery: 1. First, as long as the generator is working, it can charge the battery, and the power source of the generator comes from the engine. 2. After the car is started, the engine begins to work, and the engine transmits power to the generator through the belt, thus starting to charge the battery.
