How Car Batteries Work
Modern vehicles use 12-volt batteries with six cells that convert chemical energy into electrical power. The battery's location (under hood, in trunk, or under seats) varies by vehicle but its function remains critical:
- Provides initial power to start the engine
- Stabilizes voltage for electrical systems
- Powers accessories when engine is off
- Works with alternator to maintain charge
With the increasing complexity of modern vehicles and start/stop systems, maintaining a healthy battery is more important than ever to avoid breakdowns and expensive repairs.
When to Replace Your Car Battery
Most batteries last 3-5 years, but Birmingham's variable weather can shorten lifespan. Watch for these warning signs:
- Slow engine cranking or difficulty starting
- Dim headlights or interior lights
