Automotive batteries are rechargeable power sources designed to provide the electrical energy needed to start a vehicle’s engine and support its electrical systems. Typically 12-volt lead-acid batteries, they supply power to components such as lights, infotainment systems, ignition, and onboard electronics when the engine is off. Once the engine is running, the alternator recharges the battery. Automotive batteries are built to deliver high current in short bursts (cranking power) and withstand harsh conditions like temperature
