Why does a car engine still need a battery if it can generate its own electricity?

It needs the battery to store enough energy to restart the engine when it has been turned off. Without the battery you would have to start the engine manually with a crank (as they did on early cars before the invention of the electric starter). Also, the battery is a critical part of the voltage regulator system for the alternator used in modern car electrical systems to prevent variations in the voltage of the electrical system with changes in engine speed, etc.


Does a car have to be moving to charge the battery?

No , for the battery to be charged the engine must be running . This means that your alternator , if it's functioning properly , is charging the car's battery as the engine is on/running .


What is battery jumpstarter?

The battery is the initial stored energy used to crank the engine and get it going. Once the engine is running, the alternator, which is powered by a belt attached to the engine flywheel takes over and provides electrical energy to the car. The alternator also replenishes the batter juice used to get the car started in the first place. If a battery has been drained of juice to the point where it cannot turn the engine over; then another battery can be piggy backed to the car's electrical system to get the engine cranking. This is called a jumpstart.

If your battery is completely dead can your car cut off while driving?

Engine Failure to Run if Battery is "Dead"Yes, a dead battery can not provide adequate electrical power to the ignition system and thus the engine cannot continue to run. Depending on the vehicle and electrical system, this can happen, even if the battery is not dead, but only to "low."

Why would a car battery keep dying?

A car battery would keep dying because inversely, the lesser the battery is used, the dying process continues. The more the battery is used, the lesser the dying process. But the dying commences and continues , the moment the car engine is not used. Thus, as often as the car is being used, the dying "resumes" the moment tne engine stops. And the faster it is used again, the slower the dying process.EVerytime the car engine is used, the battery recharges, thus life is given back to the battery. Once the engine stops, the dying resumes. This is why the car battery keeps on dying (everytime the car engine is not being used)
