- Battery
-
- A battery provides
- the initial source
- of electricity
- needed to start
- engine combustion.
- Composed of six two
- volt cells, a
- standard battery
- allows electricity
- to flow to the
- ignition and
- lighting systems
- and the car
- accessories, like
- the radio or air
- conditioner.
-
- The battery
- connects to the
- electrical system
- through two posts,
- the positive and
- negative. The
- positive post is
- red and has a +
- sign next to it,
- while the negative
- is black and has a
- - sign. Most cars
- run on maintenance
- free batteries
- where the operator
- does not need to
- perform periodic
- maintenance.
- Instead, when a
- battery dies, it
- must simply be
- replaced. All
- modern cars have
- negative grounded
- electrical systems.
