How long does it take to charge a car battery before it can start the engine?

It takes 5 to 10 minutes to charge a car battery before it can start the engine. Each time you start the engine, do not exceed 3 seconds. If the first attempt fails, avoid repeatedly trying to start the engine. When a car battery is left unused for an extended period, it will gradually discharge until it becomes unusable. Therefore, it is necessary to start the car periodically to recharge the battery. Car batteries are categorized into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The commonly referred-to car battery is a lead-acid battery, which is primarily made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte.
