Can a Car Charge When It Fails to Start?

Car idling in place can charge the battery. Below is an introduction to idling charging: Car idling in place: Refers to a working condition where the engine is running without load, and the gear is in neutral. It's like "working without output," where the car consumes fuel without moving or doing work, but it can charge the battery. The charging duration is also affected by other factors, such as whether high-power devices are used inside the car, air conditioning is turned on, external USB power supply, etc. These factors will increase the charging time. Disadvantages of idling charging: It consumes more fuel, and emissions during idling are very severe. Passengers should not turn on the air conditioning and sleep in a sealed (internal circulation) car. Incomplete combustion in the car will produce carbon monoxide (a colorless and odorless gas), which can accumulate to a lethal concentration inside the car. If conditions permit, it is recommended to use a charger to charge the car battery.
