Best Answer: Most car batteries are called 12 volt, although when running, can go as high as 14 volts. But the battery is still called a 12 volt system. Amps are the driving force, and battery amperage can be as low as 200 amps for small cars, to maybe 1000 amps, for larger vehicles.
The power in a battery can be impressive. Take a standard car battery. It is rated at 45 amp/hours. That means it can crank out 2.25 amps for 20 hours. Also it will start out at about 12.9 volts and drop to about 11 volts, averaging about 12 volts during the period.
