If the car is left sitting for a long time and not running, yes. In some cars the cigarette lighter wont work unless the car is on for this reason.
how come when we turn on ac the belts slow down. It takes horse power to operate the ac compressor and the vehicles ECM (engine control module) will compensate for that. If the vehicles charging system and ac system is in good working order it will not drain the battery or effect the idle.
Yes, if your car sits a few days at a time and your cars interior lights periodically come on it will drain your battery.
it means your cars battery is gonna drain
Solar powered cars are battery powered cars. The solar array is charging the batteries. So there is no real difference.
The charging system on modern cars has 2 parts. The alternator and battery. On older cars there is also the voyage regulator. On modern cars it is built into the alternator. The electrical system however has many more parts.Alternator, voltage regulator, and alternator belt. The batteries themselves are part of the cranking system, not the charging system.
The plan for future electric cars is that they will require very few battery charging sessions. Each battery charging session can actually be quite costly to the owner of an electric car. The aim of auto makers right now is to reduce the amount of energy that electric cars require during a charge session. Before purchasing an electric car research how much the battery costs.
Any relay could be the cause.
A short will not drain the battery it will blow a fuse. It may be the battery has a dead cell, or some light is on draining the battery. It can also be a stuck relay.
It will drain the battery in the short term,but in the long term battery life really isn't effected.
Determining When to Replace a Car BatteryI don't know the "official" answer, but will provide an answer as to how I've done it for over 50 years. I replace a vehicle battery when it will not HOLD a charge over 2-3 days without use of the vehicle, but only after I've checked out the charging and electrical system on my cars or trucks and found them to not be causing a significant "drain" on the battery.
from me constantly raping your cars exhaust while you sleep.
depends on the cars charging system, and why it was dead in the first place,but typically about 1 to two hours,if the charging system is working properly.
