Are Most Standard Car Batteries 12 Volt…

Posted in Car Batteries | Asked on Jun 2, 2010

I live in the caribbean and I ordered a Black and Decker car battery charger from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-VEC1086BBD-Battery-Charger/dp/B000EJWYOW/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_i
I think they said it’s to be used with a 12volt battery,I drive a 95 nissan bluebird ARX sedan,now I know that the cranking amps on my battery are about 700 but I never knew how much volts it carries..is 12 volt the standard spec for a car battery..I would hate to have bought it and not be able to use it.

    yes and they are sold here just about everywhere the are mostly 6 and 12 volt… but you hardly ever see any 6 volt battery any more…. and pretty much any brand any be great to have and you dont want to use it a lot but you never know when one comes in handy

  4. Joesph C says:

    Car batteries come in 6, 12, 24 volt with the 12 volt being the most used now. Older cars may have 6 volts. Really large cars, trucks, etc might have as high as 24 volts.

    I believe you’re concerned about the B/D battery charger you ordered. Most battery chargers cover every conceivable battery. Don’t concern yourself about the cranking amps. Your interested in the voltage. Why are you buying a battery charger anyway. Warm weather in the Caribbean would never need a battery charger. I live in Maryland and never use one anymore.
