Automotive Batteries is a general description for batteries used as starter batteries for the engines of cars, trucks, agricultural appliances, motor cycles, boats etc. Apart from providing starting power, in most instances automotive type batteries also help out with power for accessories when the vehicle alternator is unable to fully cover the power requirement, to provide power for lights, radios etc when the vehicle is parked and the engine is not running. They also play a vital role in smoothing out sudden spikes and drops in the vehicle’s electrical power needs.
