Does the car battery charge automatically after starting the car?

When the car is idling during startup, it automatically charges the battery. However, the prerequisite is to ensure that all electrical appliances in the car are turned off (except for the engine), and charging relies on the alternator while the car is running. Below is additional information: Principle: Under the hood, there is a component connected by multiple belts, which is the car's alternator. After the car starts, as the engine runs, it drives the alternator to work, generating electric current. The current flows through the vehicle's voltage regulator transformer, with part of it being used by the vehicle's electrical appliances and the excess charging the battery. Alternator speed: The output voltage of the alternator is directly proportional to its speed. The alternator's speed depends on the engine's speed. During the car's startup phase, the speed is relatively slow, and the alternator's output voltage is also relatively low. Only when the engine continues to operate normally can the battery's charge be better replenished.
