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 standard car battery in today's vehicles are rated at 12 volts. Each battery has six cells which are 2.1 volts each. A car battery is considered fully charged at 12.6 volts. When a battery drops voltage, even by a small amount, it makes a big difference. For instance, when a battery drops from 12.6 to 12.0 volts, its power drops from 100% to 25%! At 12.4 volts, a car battery is only 75% charged. At 12.2 volts, it's 50% charged.
