Is a car battery AC or DC?
This question came to me as a shower thought. Is a car battery AC or DC?
Melanie Mergen · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Hey, the best deep thinking happens in the shower! Car batteries are direct current (DC) power sources.
The main difference between alternating current (AC) and DC is that the power flow in an AC will periodically change, while in a DC power source, the electrical current flows in one direction.
