Engine starting
Starting requires high initial peak current (sometimes over 1000 A) to overcome mechanical inertia followed by high current discharge (hundreds of amperes) during 20 s to 40 s. Several successive attempts, which progressively deplete capacity, may be required, but because the duration is short, starting usually determines what power capability (rather than energy) the battery should have. Maximum power for a 24 V battery is obtained when the battery voltage is allowed to fall to 12 V.
Saft benefits:
