How Long Can a Car Battery Last Without Starting the Engine?
1 Answers
There is no fixed number of days for how long a car battery can last when the engine is not started, as it depends on the battery's capacity and level of degradation. Below are some relevant details about car batteries: 1. Car Battery: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. 2. Car Battery Maintenance: (1) Avoid frequent engine starts. In winter, when the car is difficult to start, do not attempt continuous starts. Repeatedly starting the motor will inevitably cause the battery to over-discharge and become damaged. The interval between restart attempts should exceed 5 seconds. (2) When the battery has been in use for about two and a half years, routine maintenance should include battery testing as a preventive measure. Try to avoid using electrical devices such as the CD player or cigarette lighter when the engine is off, and minimize the use of various in-car electrical appliances while driving.
