Can the car battery be charged directly on the vehicle?
1 Answers
Car batteries can be charged directly on the vehicle using a charger. Here are the specific details about car batteries: 1. Function: The battery's role is to store electrical energy. Without a battery, the car cannot operate normally. 2. Charging while driving: Typically, household car batteries are 12V, with a no-load voltage around 13V and a load voltage not lower than 11V. If the voltage drops below this level, it can cause difficulty starting. The battery can be charged by the alternator while the car is running. If the car is parked for an extended period, it can easily lead to battery discharge, making the car unable to start. Therefore, during long-term parking, it's best to start the vehicle at least once a week for more than 5 minutes to charge the battery. 3. Charging precautions: Generally, charging the battery for 4-5 hours is sufficient to fully charge it, avoiding overcharging.
