That depends on several factors:
If the car battery is FULLY discharged, a starter can pull as much as 200 AMPS when you try to start the engine, depending on the size of the engine.
If the car battery is only "low", but still carries a pretty good charge, you might be able to get by with considerably less than 200 AMPS.
What else can I help you with?
Where would you find the solenoid in the car?
The solenoid in normally by the starter motor and is a relay so the starter switch does not conduct the full amps needed to turn the engine.
Why does F150 starter burn out?
biggest problem with ford starters burning out is caused by a bad battery and prolonged engine turning over if hard to start. if starter has been replaced, your battery may not have correct cranking amps. bare in mind that a hot engine actually takes more cranking amps than a cold engine to start.
How many amps should a starter draw?
A typical starter motor draws around 50 to 150 amps while cranking an engine. If the current draw is significantly higher or lower, it may indicate a problem with the starter motor or the electrical system.
What is the cranking amps drawn from the starter motor of a 200 tdi engine?
Depends on a lot of factors, including oil viscosity, engine mileage, temperature, etc. The best way to find out is to hook an ammeter to your starter motor wire, you will get an exact answer.
How many amps is 500 watts for a jump starter?
To calculate the amps for a jump starter with 500 watts, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. If assuming a standard 12-volt car battery, the calculation would be 500 watts / 12 volts = 41.67 amps.
Can you run a 185v 3.5 amp motor from a 12v system?
You can run 185 volts from a 12 volt battery at 3.5 amp motor. Amps are your current. Most things today are run on milliamps. 3.5 amps is hot except for the car starter. You need 150 and up for these in amps. If your starter is dragging it takes more current and robs the battery and engine of much needed juice. You increase your amps by using high voltage rectifiers and by adding coil windings around an iron core to to boost current. These are called step up transformers. They are DC but can be inverted to ac. You run resistors and diodes to tune your voltage off of a transformer winding lead. Most batteries range from 55 amps to 85 amps and higher in modern day cars. The alternator, which is an actual motor can and does act to keep this battery charged while running lights, air, abs brakes, o2 sensors, injectors and so on and on. Try burning your headlights with engine off for 15 minutes and then start the car.
How many electrons can flow into a starter during one second of cranking?
The current flow through a starter varies with the vehicle. If a big engine has a starter that draws 50 amperes (amps), the 50 amps represents 50 coulomb seconds. An amp is one coulomb (an amount of charge) per second, and a coulomb is about 6.241 x 1018 electrons. The 50 amps would be about 3.12 x 1020 electrons in a second. That's a bit more than 312 billion billion electrons in a second, which is a lot.
How many volts does a battery need to start a engine?
a battery should be reading 12 or 13 volts at full charge you would need it over 10 volts but its hypothetical as it depends on the engine size10 To add it's not the voltage that turns the starter motor it is the amount of what is called cranking amps or cold cranking amps cca which refers to the amount of amps when 32 degrees Fahrenheit or up. If you have below the specific amount of amps for your starter it will click, turn but very sold, or do nothing. A 12 volt battery typically needs 400+ amps to start the car. While 5 volts means your battery is dead having 12 volts does not mean your car will start.
What happens to the car when the battery has too many cranking amps?
Nothing at all. Increasing the cranking amps will not harm anything. The starter will only draw the amps it needs.
Why does your battery show full charge even though starter drags and will not start?
A battery can show full charge but it also needs the right amount of amps to turn your car over. Even if your battery is at full charge and putting out all the amps it needs you could still have excessive resistance in your starting electrical system. If your entire starting electrical system is good than you could have mechanical problems in your engine that are making the engine much harder than normal to turn. It could also be that the bushings on the starter are worn, causing the starter to drag and not spin fast enough to start the engine.
How many amps does a typical motorcycle starter draw?
About 85 amps for an average import motorcycle. Closer to twice that for a Harley-Davidson.
Is there a battery jump starter?
The most important consideration when purchasing a jump starter is power. How much power is the jump starter getting to the battery? Many manufacturers only offer battery booster packs that have only 900 peak amps and maybe 200 cranking amps.
