What is the charging voltage of a car battery?
1 Answers
The charging voltage of a car battery is 12V or 24V. Common gasoline-powered car batteries typically operate at 12V, while multi-cylinder diesel engines and single-cylinder diesel engines with over 25 horsepower usually use a 24V power supply. Car batteries are generally lead-acid batteries, which can be categorized into maintenance-required and maintenance-free types. Currently, most vehicles use maintenance-free batteries that do not require the addition of electrolyte water. The structure of a car lead-acid battery mainly consists of positive (negative) plates, separators, electrolyte, casing, connecting straps, and terminals. Its advantages include stable working voltage, a wide range of operating temperatures and current usage, the ability to undergo hundreds of charge-discharge cycles, and excellent storage performance (especially suitable for dry-charged storage).
