Your Volkswagen’s battery is an essential part of its starting and charging systems. When you turn the ignition, the battery sends an electric current to the starter, so the vehicle cranks to life and runs. What’s more, the car battery is responsible for providing electric power to the vehicle’s many electronic components, including onboard computers, internal and external lights, and the radio whenever your car is off or their demands exceed the capacity of the alternator.
