Learning about car batteries is a smart thing to do for any car owner. Size and type of vehicle dictate a battery’s amps, but most car batteries are 550 to 1,000 amps.
For example, some experts recommend a heavier duty truck’s battery be over 1,000 amps. Meanwhile, a smaller car may be in the 400 to 600 amp range. If you’re having battery issues, it’s important to get a battery with the proper amperage for your vehicle.
