What is the minimum standing voltage on a battery for a car to start?
CarsonH4
With a digital volt meter a 100% fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. At 75% charge it will read 12.4 volts, at 50% it will read 12.2 volts and at 25% it will read 12.0 volts. It can more than likely start the engine at a 50% charge an possibly at 25% charge, depending on the outside temperature and the condition of the engine.

Can you jump start a Honda ATV from car battery?
Yes, if your car battery is the same voltage as the ATV battery.
How do you get a 1998 Honda Accord to start when battery is good but all it does when tring to start is make a small clicking sound?
It sounds like a bad cable connection at the battery/starter solenoid/ or the starter solenoid is bad. Check these areas. It could still be the battery. Check the voltage at the battery then try to start the engine. If the voltage drops below about 10 or 11 volts, the battery does not have enough of a charge. Try a battery charger for a while and see if you can get enough of a charge to start the engine. If the voltage is up when you try to start the engine, check the battery post connections. See if you have voltage THERE when you try to start it. Sometimes a corroded battery terminal will act the way you described. If that isn't it, check the connections to the starter. If you have good voltage to the starter when you try to start it, the starter is probably bad.
What causes voltage on 1999 Saturn sl2 to go from 12.2V to 14V at random times?
The cause is the voltage regulator within the alternator (working normal). When the voltage higher it is charging the battery like after you start your car or have the headlights and wipers on. The voltage regulator keeps your battery charged up. In order to charge the battery, voltage must be higher than battery voltage.
How do you know if a battery is dead?
Try start the car. Check the voltage.
Can a voltage regulator cause a car to not start?
no, the voltage regulater is for charging not the ignition system, it can however drain the battery
The alternator and battery were placed on a Mazda 95' but the battery keeps losing charge and the car won't start The voltage is over 14 but the battery keeps losing power What causes this?
It could be the voltage regulator.

Low battery voltage .?
Battery not charging 1991 ford areostar van?
Check the voltage of your battery, first thing to do. It should be 12+ volts shown in you battery tester. Then, start the engine and check the battery voltage again. If the voltage goes up to 14 to 14+ volts, it means that your alternator is working. It's time for you to replace the battery.
How do you test voltage regulator on motorcycle?
Check the battery voltage, bike not running. Start the bike (crank the rpm's up a little), voltage should be a couple of volts more than battery voltage. Check both voltage (running and not running) at battery terminals. Charge voltage isn't all though, if it doesn't stop charging when it should it will boil the battery dry. If you are having this symptom, it's for sure the regulator
Why is there no electrical power in your 1998 ford f 150?
Often it's a problem with a loose connection or corroded battery terminal, but it can also be just a discharged battery. The question is too vague to answer in any kind of detail, but it would be good to start with the basics; test the battery. Use a volt meter to see what voltage is present at the battery, then start to go out from there. If you have voltage at the battery, test voltage at the connectors, then the relay, then the fuse box.
What are the main purposes of the battery?
to provide current to start vehicle and supply modules with voltage before start up
Can you start s lightbub with a battery?
Yes, if the bulb is of the right voltage, as in a torch (flashlight).
