A car battery needs 12 volts. You do the math. The other issue you face is Amperage; the cell only put out 15.5 milliAmps, and a car requires 2 Amps. If you do the math, you’ll realize that either you’ll get too low of a voltage or too high of an amperage; to get the right numbers you have to wire the cells up differently; as in, wire them in series or in parallel.
