Can the car be started while charging?
1 Answers
It is possible to start the engine, but it is not recommended. Starting the engine may not be successful because the charger's current is relatively small and may not be able to power the starter. When starting the engine, the large current required mainly comes from the battery itself. If the battery is not fully charged, it will not be able to provide sufficient starting current, making it difficult to start the car. Below is relevant information: Charger: The charger has a current limiting function. When the battery voltage is very low (during startup), the charger's current is limited to a certain range to prevent the charger from overloading and burning out. After the car is started, the car battery voltage rises to around 14V, at which point the charger will consider the battery fully charged and will reduce the charging current until it stops charging. Therefore, the car can be started while the battery is charging, and this will not damage the charger. Battery: The battery is an important component of the car and is also a wear-prone part. When the engine is not started, the battery is responsible for supplying power to all the car's electrical devices. After the engine is started, the alternator supplies power to all the car's electrical devices. When starting the engine, the ignition system needs to work, the starter needs to rotate, and the fuel supply system needs to operate, all of which require electricity. If the battery does not have enough charge, the engine will not start.
