Let’s start by answering the question of why such thoughts arise in the minds of motorists at all. The fact is that the battery installed at the factory when assembling the machine sometimes does not provide the desired performance. And both in winter and in summer.
For example, many Japanese vehicles have a 45 Ah battery. This is not enough even for central Russia. In the cold it is difficult for her to start the “engine”, and in the heat she can hardly cope with the operation of the climate system. That is why smart helmsmen set the battery to 60 Ah, for example.
At the same time, there is an opinion that such a product will work in a constant undercharge mode. That is, it will soon fail. But what exactly prevents it from replenishing? The correct answer is nothing!
The generator during operation only returns the consumed amp hours to the battery. For example, if 5 Ah has been used up, that much must be returned. The capacity does not affect the process. And the already mentioned generator has a margin of the order of 10-20% of the maximum possible current. So nothing bad will happen to him.
Therefore, do not rely on those “experienced” carriers who are frightened with horror stories. There will be no harm. However, first inspect the engine compartment. Allows you to install and securely fasten a large battery. Indeed, during the shaking in motion, it can close the hood. Then electrical problems are guaranteed.
So a powerful battery in the summer is simply irreplaceable. Especially if you are traveling with your family. Judge yourself. The air conditioner runs for many hours. And energy is also sucked out by consumers like a music system, gadgets through USB ports, as well as a portable refrigerator in the trunk and a fan bought on the go. A modest battery cannot cope with such a set, but a powerful battery will certainly withstand it. In addition, if a small undercharge occurs, the generator compensates for it during the movement.
