How do car batteries work?

How car batteries work
Straight-up technical illustration to accompany an AAA Living article explaining how car batteries work and why they fail. I’ve been working in a variety of styles recently, so it was nice to do something more representational. Being a technical illustrator is like being a designer, in that ‘style’ is just another tool for communication. Thanks to AD Chris Ferguson for the great project!

Car Battery Cutaway

Technical illustration showing how a conventional automotive battery works. Electrons in the positive plates (red) race through an electrolytic solution of water and sulfuric acid into the negative plates (blue). The six cells produce a total of 12.6 volts, powering the ignition system and starting the engine. In older batteries, lead sulfate crystals hinder the flow of electrons.
