Could a lightening bolt that strikes a car battery terminal give it a 100% full charge lol ?
There are a number of problems with this idea. The biggest, I think, has to do with how much energy it takes to charge a battery. I’m not sure how big your typical car battery is, but my motorcycle battery has 50 amp hours, so let’s say 100 amp hours as a conservative estimate. That means that it would take 1 amp for 100 hours to charge this battery (actually more because some of it is converted to heat). Or 100 amps for 1 hour. To charge this battery in one second would take 360,000 amps. To charge it in 1/10 second would take 3.6 million amps. But the wiring in the car, and the connectors in the battery, can’t take this kind of current, even for 1/10 second. The battery would explode, or melt. In fact 3.6 million amps would make the whole car glow cherry-red for a second and then disintegrate into a shower of sparks. And there’s another problem. Lightning has to have a path to ground (‘earth’, you call it over there). But in a car you are riding on rubber insulators. This is why ligh
