How long drive per start up? Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: car keeps killing batteries., Steven W, Tue, 3 Jan 2006 16:31:04 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It will take approx 15-20 minutes for the alternator to charge back into the battery what you stole when starting the engine.
If you also have the head lights on and the blower motor going during the drive it will take longer to recouperate.
I know since I have only 2 miles to work. After about 1 month of that kind of driving I have to take the car into the shop and hook the battery charger up to replenish the juice.
It will also kill the battery quicker so I have to replace it about every 2 years.
