car batteries
Automotive power sources
Car batteries are rechargeable batteries that provide electrical power to start a vehicle's engine and run its electrical systems.
Most are lead-acid batteries, replaced every few years when they lose capacity.
The term appears in contexts ranging from automotive maintenance to improvised torture, where electrodes deliver painful shocks: They hooked him up to a car battery.
