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.
A 550 amphour battery would only have 250 amps at 0 degrees temperature. Watts are amount of power used, and is figured by mulitplying the volts times the amps. So if a car is using 5 amps, at 12 volts, to run the headlights, it is using 60 watts of power. (5 x 12). But most people think of batteries as amps and volts only, hardly ever think of watts. Headlights are rated at watts, such as high beam 55 watts, low beam 35 watts.
