There are two plates per battery cell. Four battery cells generate slightly over four volts of power. In total, a car battery generates 12.8 volts, which is enough power to start up your car. When the battery cannot generate the total voltage capacity, the car might have trouble starting up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accessories running on the battery (things you have plugged in) can make it even more difficult for your battery to function in the cold. Amenities such as heat, radio, and phone chargers will be apart of the initial drain when you start your car up. Leaving the headlights on or your trunk open can also leave your battery level at zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining a healthy battery during the winter means parking in a garage (not outside) whenever possible, insulating the battery with a device called a \u201cbattery blanket,\u201d turning off the heat when exiting the vehicle, and unplugging electronic cords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you noticing issues with your vehicle\u2019s battery?
