How many volts does a battery need to start a engine?

a battery should be reading 12 or 13 volts at full charge you would need it over 10 volts but its hypothetical as it depends on the engine size10 To add it's not the voltage that turns the starter motor it is the amount of what is called cranking amps or cold cranking amps cca which refers to the amount of amps when 32 degrees Fahrenheit or up. If you have below the specific amount of amps for your starter it will click, turn but very sold, or do nothing. A 12 volt battery typically needs 400+ amps to start the car. While 5 volts means your battery is dead having 12 volts does not mean your car will start.

How many watts are in car bartteryes?

varies, go out and check on top of battery, should have sticker that says cold cranking amps. all batteries should run 12.6 volts, do the math from that.watts = volts * amps , take the CCA (cold Cranking amps) number on the Battery and multiply it by 12.6No one answer, as there is no one car battery. Most are 12 volt batteries, but that can really be anywhere from about 13.2 to 11 volts. A standard large battery will have ABOUT 50 amps of current. Multiplying volts times amps equals watts. 12 x50= 600 watts. HOWEVER- you cannot draw that much power for more than a few seconds. Heat buildup would damage battery.
