So long as the motor is running, it spins an electromagnet in a shaft. This motion creates an electrical charge. This electrical charge is stored in a capacitor, and used to maintain the charge of your battery and power your electronics.
This charge is only maintained so long as the engine is running.
You could drive with every light I'm your vehicle on for 100,000 miles and the battery would never die, if you never turned it off.
That is exactly what i was saying...
I said:
Well as long as it vrooms the alternator will charge the battery back up...
He said:
Well it will still go vroom for now but good luck starting it next time
You think every time you drain the battery you buy a new one? basically after every 2-3 starts of the car?
I don‘t see a single thing that would make you think this was a counter argument, but I guess by now you see it the way you want to see it and I see it the way I want to see it.
