Here's why:
* The alternator is driven by the engine's crankshaft. The engine's rotation is what spins the alternator, not the car's idle speed.
* Idling is not necessary for charging. As long as the engine is running, the alternator will generate electricity.
* Idling can actually be detrimental to your car. Prolonged idling can lead to increased fuel consumption and emissions.
Instead of idling, you should:
* Drive your car regularly. This ensures that the alternator is spinning and generating electricity to charge the battery.
* Check your battery health. A weak battery can make it difficult for the alternator to charge properly.
Note: If you're experiencing electrical problems in your car, it's best to have it diagnosed by a qualified mechanic.
