What does a car battery do?

Batteries do several important jobs within our cars and without them, we are going nowhere!

They provide the electricity to start our cars, along with powering all the car's lights and, like household batteries, they use a chemical reaction to provide the electricity needed to get things going.

The battery you need and how long it will last depends on a number of things, including what distances you drive each year, and how often you actually use your car. 

If you want to know more about different types of battery available, how long they last, how to charge them, how you know when one needs replacing, and much more, click on our handy guide.
