How Long Should Idle Charging Last?
1 Answers
If the car has been parked for 10 days without moving, idling for 10 minutes is sufficient for charging. However, if it has been parked for more than 20 minutes, at least 20 minutes of charging is required. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Idling: The car can be charged while idling in place. If the usual purpose is just to help replenish the battery, idling is sufficient. When the car is completely out of power, charging at 1500 rpm for 20 minutes can provide enough power for the starter to start the engine once. Charging at 1500 rpm for 30 minutes can provide enough power for a start the next day. If charging at 1500 rpm for more than 60 minutes, the battery can be almost fully charged. 2. Note: When the car is not used for a long time while away, it is advisable to unplug the power cord to prevent severe battery discharge. If you forget, you can ask family or friends to help start the car for charging. It is also a good idea to keep a set of jumper cables in the car for emergencies.
