How long does it take to fully charge a car battery while driving?

The car battery can be fully charged in about 20 minutes of driving when the battery is in good condition. The battery is an important component of a car. When the engine is not started, the battery supplies power to all the electrical equipment in the car, and it is also responsible for starting the engine. Once the engine is started, the alternator takes over to power all the electrical equipment and also charges the battery. The battery is a wearable part that needs to be replaced regularly. Over time, its ability to hold a charge decreases, which can affect the normal operation of the car. Generally, a car battery can last about 4 years, but many car batteries fail before reaching that lifespan due to incorrect usage habits of the owner.

What to Do When Hitting the Corner While Backing into a Parking Space?

When backing into a parking space, frequently hitting the corner is mainly due to not mastering the timing of steering wheel operation. The specific aspects are as follows: 1. Steering too early when backing into a parking space will cause the wheels to be too close to the corner during right-side parking. (1) Align the shoulder line with the right-side marker and turn the steering wheel back one full turn. When the rear of the car passes the right corner and the curve begins to widen while gradually moving left, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. Once the car is straight, return the steering wheel to the center by turning it back one and a half turns. (2) If the right side of the car is about to hit the right corner, straighten the steering wheel, drive backward a short distance, and once the rear of the car enters the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. Once the car is straight, return the steering wheel to the center by turning it back one and a half turns. (3) When the right side of the car is 30 cm away from the top right corner (approximately two fingers width in the mirror), turn the steering wheel half a turn to the left. Once the rear of the car passes the top corner and enters the parking space without any change in the curve, check the left mirror and return the steering wheel one full turn when the car is straight, then back into the parking space. 2. Another situation is turning the steering wheel too late. The fewer adjustments and steering wheel turns needed when backing into a parking space, the better. It’s best to prepare before entering the parking space. The key is to learn how to judge the 30 cm distance between the car body and the corner, which requires practice and experience.
