To minimize the risk of faults in the connection above, there is no mechanical connection between the starter battery and the starter motor.<\/p><p>However, when the battery bank size approaches 400 Ah, you reach a point where the batteries have to be so discharged that they are damaged before they begin to have difficulty starting an engine.
