Does a battery-based ignition system utilize a lighting coil to power the ignition?

A battery-based ignition system relies on the stored electrical energy from a battery to power the ignition system, providing the necessary voltage to create sparks at the spark plugs. In this type of system, there is no need for a lighting coil to generate power, as the battery serves this purpose.

On the other hand, lighting coils are typically associated with magneto ignition systems found in many smaller, non-battery-powered engines. These systems generate their own electricity through the motion of a rotor and stator, rather than relying on a battery.

The distinction is important to understand: the battery supplies consistent voltage, ensuring reliable ignition timing, while lighting coils generate power on-demand based on engine speed and may not provide stable voltage. Therefore, it is accurate to say that a battery-based ignition system does not utilize a lighting coil for its operation.
