its a ignition coil which changes 12 volts of battery to a several thousands volts which is required for spark plug to create an ignition.
Ignition coils generate the voltage needed to create the spark for ignition of the fuel air mixture, without it the vehicle will not run.
The ignition system in a gasoline vehicle lights the gasoline. It increases the 12v battery voltage up to 30,000v, to create a spark at the tip of a spark plug. It is timed accurately, to cause the air/fuel mixture to burn rapidly, at a point in the cycle that pushes down on the piston. The system also arranges that the high voltage is delivered in the correct order, to each spark plug, in engines with more than one cylinder.
A combination of two or more electrochemical cells in a series is called a battery. By connecting the cells together in series, the voltage of each cell is added together to create a higher total voltage output.
Some believe that the first voltage source in the world was the Baghdad battery. In some temples, potery has been found that contains the components to create an electrical charge in order to produce voltage.
A basic electrical circuit needs a voltage supply (battery or household outlet), wiring to carry electrons to and from the voltage supply to the load, and a load (motor, light, heat element, stereo, blender, whatever).
A battery creates a potential energy difference by separating positive and negative charges to create a voltage. This voltage difference creates an electric field that drives the flow of charged particles (current) through the circuit.
V = I.R V = 1.5 x 8 V = 12V

It is being over charged or it has an internal problem. It has the potential of exploding in your face. Do not create a source of ignition anywhere near the battery. Your local auto parts store can test the battery and the charging system.
When you connect the positive terminal of one 1.5V battery to the negative terminal of another, you create a series circuit. In this case, the voltage is additive, so the total voltage across the two batteries is 3V (1.5V + 1.5V = 3V), which is double the voltage of a single battery.
