The first thing you should check is the cables themselves. If they have excessive corrosion they cannot send the power to the electrical system. Remove them from the battery and clean them, and the posts, with a Wire Brush. If it's a late model vehicle you can check for power at the Main Fuse, usually located under the hood. Will your lights come on ?
It varies by manufacturer and battery.
12.7 volts
1.265
It is there to keep the battery fully charged.
A: The reason being that is the normal car battery potential when fully charged and to be Mobile means it must have a power source like a car battery
The alternator provides DC power for all the electronics and the engine. It also keeps the battery fully charged.
The battery is the storage device for electricity in the vehicle. However the alternator is what creates electricity to keep the battery fully charged and to run all the electronics in the vehicle.
If your car has no power despite a fully charged battery, first check the battery connections to ensure they are clean and tight. Next, inspect the fuses and relays, as a blown fuse could interrupt power to critical systems. Additionally, verify that the ignition switch and starter motor are functioning properly. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult a mechanic for further diagnosis.
2.2 v when fully charged.
Normally in off load, its about 12.6 volts. 12.6 is correct for a fully charged battery. 12.4 it is 75% 12.2 it is 50% 12.0 it is 25%
With no charging the battery could last a few minutes. There is a large amount of power needed to move a car forward. Starting would shorten the time.
check your fuses could possibly be a fuseable link by the starter
