How many types of electric current are there ?

Are you talking about AC vs. DC ? The car's battery supplies DC, just as all batteries do.

The DC from the battery is used to turn a small but powerful DC motor, and to

energize a solenoid that pulls the powerful motor into contact with a mating gear

on the engine, enabling it to crank the engine in hopes that the engine may kick in

and begin to run on its own. The DC current that the battery supplies while the

little "starter" motor is cranking the engine is quite considerable, and may range

upwards of 100 amperes!
