What is 12V?

12V (12 Volts) refers to a common voltage level used in a wide variety of electronic and electrical systems. It's a standard voltage for car batteries and is commonly used to power automotive accessories, LED lighting, various electronic devices via adapters, and small motors. 12V systems are often chosen for their balance of power delivery and safety, as they are considered relatively low voltage and less hazardous than higher voltage systems.

What other technologies are related to 12V?

12V Competitor Technologies

110V is a competitor because it is an alternative voltage, primarily for AC systems, offering a different solution for powering devices, especially where higher power is required and DC is not suitable.
