We just learned about the Manual Transmission.
Another part of a car is the Car Battery.
This is a rechargable battery in the car that helps start the car and run other electrical things in the car like lights and radios.
When the car is running, the alternator charges up the battery.
Sometimes a car battery can run out of power.
This can happen if the alternator isn't working, or if someone leaves a light on in the car and the battery all gets used up.
If this happens, the battery has two metal posts on it called terminals.
You can hook those terminals up to another car's battery, and use that electricity to recharge your battery.
