What is the voltage of a Dodge Dart battery?
The Dodge Dart uses a 12-volt battery. This remains true from the classic 1960s–1970s Darts through the later 2013–2016 model, and there is no high-voltage traction battery in standard versions.
Overview of the Dodge Dart electrical system
All Dodge Darts rely on a conventional 12-volt electrical system to run the starter motor, lighting, and accessories. When the engine is running, the alternator typically maintains the system voltage around 13.8 to 14.4 volts to keep the battery charged and power the vehicle’s electronics.
Classic Dodge Dart (1960s–1976)
In the classic era, the battery was a 12-volt lead-acid unit, and the electrical system was designed around the same nominal voltage as most American cars of the period. Replacement batteries varied by year but followed the standard 12-volt format.
Modern Dodge Dart (2013–2016)
The 2013–2016 Dodge Dart also uses a 12-volt battery, powering modern electronics, ignition, and fuel-management systems. Battery replacements typically use a standard 12-volt automotive battery, though some owners opt for higher-capacity or AGM-style units for longer life or better cold-cranking performance.
Summary
Across its generations, the Dodge Dart operates on a 12-volt electrical system. For precise battery specifications—such as amp-hour rating or cold-cranking amps—check the battery label or the owner’s manual for your specific year and trim.
