Does Listening to Music with the Engine Off Harm the Car?
1 Answers
Listening to music with the engine off for a short period of time does not harm the battery. However, if you listen to music continuously for several hours, it can cause some damage to the battery. When the engine is off, it stops working, and if the battery has sufficient charge, listening to music for a short time generally does not consume much power. If the vehicle is parked for an extended period while some electrical components, such as the anti-theft system, remain active, and you continue to listen to music, the battery can be completely drained. Repeated instances of this will certainly harm the battery, reducing its capacity and lifespan, and may lead to a dead battery that prevents the car from starting.
