Batteries

Car batteries are essential power sources that start the engine, provide electrical energy for components, and store power for when the engine is off. Composed of lead-acid cells, they convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Regular charging from the alternator keeps the battery operational. Maintaining proper voltage and avoiding over-discharge is crucial for battery health. Factors like temperature and usage affect battery lifespan. Routine checks, cleaning terminals, and jump-starting when needed ensure reliable vehicle operation. Selecting the correct battery type and capacity for your vehicle is vital for optimal performance and avoiding breakdowns.
