How much power is lost at a time when the car engine is started

Nowadays, more and more people are driving in society, and it is inevitable that they will encounter various accidents while driving. Some of these accidents are force majeure, and some are caused by their own carelessness. For example, when some people stop at night, they will forget to turn off the headlights of their cars, and only the next day will find that they cannot start the car at this time, and can only choose to let people help push the cart or call for rescue.

The reason why the car cannot start because the car cannot be started because the car needs the power provided by the battery to start the car, so that it can drive the starter, and the starter makes the car engine start to work. Not only can you forget to turn off the headlights may cause the car to fail to start, but some cars will not be used for a long time, and there will also be a situation where the car battery is out of power and it is difficult to start. Many people will wonder how much power is lost at a time when the car engine is started, and how long does it take for the car to make up for these lost amounts of power?

Some people will feel that if the power required when the vehicle is started is large, will it be difficult to replenish these lost power into the battery in a short period of time, which will gradually reduce the power of the battery in the long run, and then cannot start the car? In fact, this worry is completely superfluous, let's first look at how much power is needed to start the car. The starting time required for the car in different seasons and states is also different, but in general, between 5 seconds and 10 seconds, if the car needs 200A ~ 600A to start, then the power consumption is about 0.27AH to 1.6AH.

Is this more or less for the car battery? In general, the capacity of the car battery when fully charged is about 55AH, that is to say, only start the car once, the battery power consumed only accounts for two hundred to fifty times of the total battery capacity, which can be said to be insignificant consumption, do not worry about the car starting will consume too much battery power. After the car starts, the lights and control system are no longer powered by the battery, but directly driven by the engine to drive the generator to work, then the battery power will no longer be consumed.

So, the electricity consumed when the car ignites can be replenished after how long the car has been running? Generally speaking, as long as the family car is driving for more than ten minutes, then the battery can replenish its lost power. Therefore, there are concerns about the battery power of the owner do not have to worry about this, the car manufacturers in the design, has fully considered the energy consumption of the car start, in a short period of time many times turned off and start will not cause much damage to the car's battery will not consume too much power.

Of course, this does not mean that we can completely ignore the battery health of the car in normal times. When the weather is more extreme, the car's battery may appear to be discharged for no reason, and the owners should also pay attention to the problem that dust may cause the battery to have poor contact, and remember to check the health of the battery when the car is maintained in the 4S shop.
