Does a New Battery Need Charging?
1 Answers
New batteries require charging if they have been stored for a long time or have been used before. However, if the new battery was produced within the last half month and hasn't been used, it can be used directly without charging. The battery is an essential part of a vehicle and can be categorized into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. The functions of a battery include: 1. Providing a powerful starting current to the starter when starting the engine; 2. Assisting the generator in supplying power to electrical equipment when the generator is overloaded; 3. Supplying power to electrical equipment when the engine is idling; 4. Converting part of the electrical energy into chemical energy for storage when the generator's terminal voltage is higher than the battery's electromotive force, thereby charging the battery.
