Service Training Self-study Programme 504 Vehicle Batteries Design and Function To “get the engine running” in a passenger vehicle, the engine first needs to be started. The era in which drivers used their energy by starting the engine with a crank is long since gone – for good. Nowadays, this strenuous task is “easily” accomplished by any vehicle battery (starter battery). The vehicle battery – an integral and indispensable part of every passenger vehicle – ensures that: 1. the engine starts 2. electrical energy is available in every load situation 3. excess electrical energy is stored – and is fed back into the system when required. As one of the most important electronic components, the vehicle battery forms a focal point in each and every vehicle. There are good reasons why it is often referred to as the “heart of the vehicle”. A vehicle battery should always perform its tasks in the vehicle flawlessly. Appropriate handling of the battery is therefore particularly important. This Self-study Programme contains the relevant basic knowledge about vehicle batteries and provides important information on the correct, service-oriented handling of batteries.
