Can a car battery still be used after being jump-started once?
1 Answers
Car batteries can still be used after being jump-started once, as long as they are not severely depleted. After jump-starting, the engine can fully recharge the battery. Here are detailed explanations about car batteries: Overview: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, it refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Others: Ordinary batteries have plates composed of lead and lead oxides, with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid as the electrolyte. Their main advantages are stable voltage and low cost; the disadvantages include low specific energy (i.e., the amount of electrical energy stored per kilogram of battery), short service life, and frequent daily maintenance.
