What current should be used to charge a dead car battery?

When charging a dead car battery, use a current equal to one-tenth of the battery's capacity. Typically, the battery capacity of a household car is around 60Ah, so a 6A current is suitable for charging, which takes about 3 to 5 hours to fully charge. If using a lower current, it may take around 10 hours to fully charge. Precautions for charging a car battery include: 1. The car should not be completely powered off. Therefore, if using a charger, connect it directly to the battery without removing it, as this could lead to data loss requiring initialization, commonly known as decoding or code matching; 2. If the battery voltage is 10% lower than the rated voltage, there is a risk of battery depletion. It is recommended to fully charge the battery once a month.

How long does it take to recharge a dead car battery by driving?

It takes about 4 hours of driving to recharge a dead car battery. The alternator in the car needs to operate at over 2000 RPM to reach full load capacity, at which point its power generation meets the standard value specified on the nameplate. However, it is not recommended to use the car's alternator to charge a completely dead battery. Car battery maintenance methods include: 1. Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods to prevent the battery from freezing and getting damaged; 2. In winter, when the car engine is harder to start, each attempt to start the car should not exceed 5 seconds, with an interval of at least 15 seconds between attempts; 3. Regularly charge the battery by starting the car periodically; 4. Clean the battery terminals periodically and apply special grease to protect the wiring; 5. Avoid using car electronics after the engine is turned off.
