Can a car be started while charging?
1 Answers
It is possible to start a car while it's charging, but it is not recommended. Attempting to start the engine may fail because the charger's current is usually too low to power the starter effectively. It's better to charge the battery for a while before attempting to start the car. When starting the engine, the required high current mainly comes from the battery itself. If the battery is not sufficiently charged, it won't be able to provide the necessary starting current, making it difficult to start the car. The battery is a crucial and consumable component of a car. When the engine is off, the battery supplies power to all the vehicle's electrical systems. Once the engine is running, the alternator takes over the role of powering the electrical systems.
