You can start an 18 wheeler with 3 batteries, but if the semi sits for 2 days or more it may not start, that is why they require 4 batteries, that forth battery will help start the engine even after a week of sitting, the reason for this, is because the ECM is always pulling power from the batteries.

What is different between flashlight batteries and car batteries?

Flashlight batteries are typically smaller, cylindrical batteries designed for portable use, providing low voltage and current for short periods. In contrast, car batteries are larger, lead-acid batteries designed to deliver high current to start the engine and power electrical systems in a vehicle. Car batteries can also be recharged multiple times, while many flashlight batteries are single-use or rechargeable with different voltage specifications. Additionally, car batteries have a much higher capacity and are built to withstand extreme temperatures and vibrations.

How many AA batteries are needed to replace a car battery?

An AA battery is a 1.5 volt battery so if you connected 8 together in series you would have the 12 volts, but you would have no where near the amount of amps necessary to turn the engine over. You could connect several packs of 9 AA batteries connected in series together in parallel and eventually get enough to start the engine. I would estimate you would need 20 packs for a total of 180 batteries.
