What does a vehicle battery do?

The main purpose of a traditional vehicle battery is to supply a burst of power to the starter when you turn the key in the ignition. Beyond that, batteries supply power to the electrical system of the vehicle while the engine is switched off. This makes it possible to use the radio and turn on vehicle lights when the engine is not running. However, you should avoid using the car battery for an extended period as it can become flat. In addition, newer cars generally have more electronics and require a stronger battery.
