What does the Car Battery do?

Without appropriate voltage there is a chance that your car won't start, which could become a big inconvenience, and also has the possibility of leading to more significant problems such as damaging your Electrical system if not properly attended too.

Another critical component involved in the charging of your automobile is the Alternator.
