How long does it take for a car to run normally after a jump start?
1 Answers
After a jump start, it usually takes about 20 minutes for the car to run normally. When the car battery is dead, an external power source is needed to start the engine by connecting the positive terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of the power source and the negative terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of the power source. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Batteries can be divided into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. Typically, when people refer to a car battery, they mean a lead-acid battery. The plates of a conventional battery are made of lead and lead oxide, and the electrolyte is an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. The full name of a dry-charged battery is a dry-charged lead-acid battery, which is characterized by the negative plate having a high capacity for storing electricity. In a completely dry state, it can retain the stored charge for up to two years.
