How Long Will the Battery Last When Running the Car AC Without Starting the Engine?
1 Answers
Running the car AC without starting the engine can drain the battery within tens of minutes. When the AC is used without the engine running (though it lacks cooling functionality), the car's battery will gradually lose charge, potentially leading to difficulty starting the vehicle. Below are some tips for AC maintenance: 1. Comprehensive AC inspection: Before first use in summer, check the AC system, including inspecting the refrigerant level via the reservoir, checking if the cabin air filter is too dirty, and ensuring the radiator is free of debris. 2. Regular AC cleaning: Replace the cabin air filter periodically to prevent moldy odors. Additionally, clean the condenser regularly by removing the radiator for thorough cleaning.
