==={{anchor|Battery and coil}}Induction coil systems=== {{main|Trembler coil}} As [[Battery (electricity)|batteries]] became more common in cars (due to the increased usage of electric starter motors), magneto systems were replaced by systems using an [[induction coil]]. The 1886 [[Benz Patent-Motorwagen]] and the 1908 [[Ford Model T]] used a ''trembler coil'' ignition system, whereby the trembler interrupted the current through the coil and caused a rapid series of sparks during each firing. The trembler coil would be energized at an appropriate point in the engine cycle. In the Model T, the four-cylinder engine had a trembler coil for each cylinder.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Patterson |first1=Ron |last2=Coniff |first2=Steve |title=The Model T Ford Ignition System & Spark Timing |journal=Model T Times |date=November–December 2003 |url=http://www.fordmodelt.net/downloads/Model%20T%20Ignition.pdf}}</ref>
