How long does it take to fully charge a car battery after jump-starting the vehicle?

After a car battery runs out of power, the vehicle's engine needs to maintain a speed of over 2000 RPM, and the car must be driven for at least 4 hours to fully recharge the battery. If the engine speed cannot reach 2000 RPM, the charging time will be even longer. The alternator in the car requires a speed of over 2000 RPM to operate at full capacity, at which point its power generation reaches the nominal value specified on the nameplate. Here are some car battery maintenance tips: 1. Avoid using in-car electrical devices for extended periods while the engine is off. 2. Avoid continuous attempts to start the vehicle. 3. Always turn off the lights after parking. 4. Do not leave the car unused for long periods without starting it.
