Q
does revving engine charge battery faster

Revving the engine can indeed charge the battery faster, but this is only up to a point. The alternator, which is responsible for charging the battery, generates more electricity when the engine runs at higher RPMs. At idle, the alternator generates just enough power to keep the battery charged and meet the car's electrical needs. Increasing the engine speed allows the alternator to produce more power, which can help charge a low battery quicker. However, modern alternators are quite efficient even at lower RPMs, and excessively revving the engine, especially in a stationary vehicle, might not significantly speed up the charging process and could potentially wear out the engine components prematurely. It's also important to remember that a healthy battery and electrical system should maintain a charge under normal driving conditions without the need to rev the engine specifically for charging.

No, revving up the engine will not charge the battery faster. While the alternator (which charges the battery) does operate off of the engine, revving the engine up and down repeatedly will not significantly speed up the charging process and could potentially damage your vehicle's engine.
