It is 12 volts. The amount of current it can provide at 0 degrees F for 30 seconds is listed on the battery as Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). It varies from battery to battery.

Can you use DC current to start a car?
D.C. current is the only current used in your car. If you jump a battery from another battery, that's D.C.
What type of current does a car battery use?
The car uses a DC curent battery due to that DC is the only current that can be stored and what a car normally uses is a 12 volt battery
What is the part of a car that supplies current?
Battery
Does a gas car use battery power?
Only when you are Starting the car to turn the starter motor is the battery drawing current. Once the car starts, the alternator delivers the current and the voltage regulator regulates the voltage.
Is a car battery ac or DC?
Car electrical systems are DC, direct current.
How can you convert your syphon pump that runs on a 12v car battery to run on normal household batteries?
I have no idea what a normal household battery is. Generally you would have to match the current and voltage of the car battery and then you have the issue of how long the battery can sustain the current, or ampere hours.
What best describes a direct current?
The current produced by batteries is direct current. Electronic devices need direct current; in this case, they need a power supply (often built into the electronic device itself), that converts the alternating current, from the electric outlet, to direct current.
Can you run 0.5hp ac water pump with car battery?
No, the pump runs on AC current the battery supplies DC current. Yes, but you will need an inverter to turn the DC current into AC current
What happens when you jump start your car?
The starter on a car requires a lot of electrical current to rotate the engine fast enough for it to start. When the car's battery doesn't have enough electricity to do this a battery from another car or another source of electrical current can be supplied (jumpered) to the car to "jump start" it.
What types of batteries does a car use?

Would you expect to find direct or alternating current in the filament of a light bulb in your home the filament of a light bulb in a car the output of a battery charger?
Light bulb in the home - alternating current (A/C) Light bulb in a car - direct current (D/C) Output of a battery charger - direct current Input of a battery charger - usually alternating current
Is a car battery a circuit?
Hi, there. A battery is a power supply, a source of potential difference which drives current. In itself, a battery is not a circuit, but if you attach it to a load (a resistance), then a current will form and a circuit is made!
