What would power draw be from a new battery when you go to crank the engine?

The amperage required to turn over or crank most automobile engines is between 70 and 140 amperes.
At 12 volts this works out to be 840 watts to 1680 watts of power for a few seconds from the battery.

Why wont a 1999 Oldsmobile intrigue crank?
are you sure your battery isn't dead??? i have a 2000 intrigue and i know when my battery would die it would just make clicking noises and never had enough power to crank the engine over hope this helps
No gas can kill the battery?
Out of gas versus dead batteryRunning out of gas in and of itself would have absolutely nothing to do with a dead battery.On the other hand, IF someone, not realizing that the gas tank was empty, were to continuously crank, and crank, and crank the engine erroneously thinking they could get the engine to start, then it is for certain that they will drain the charge from the battery and thus "kill" the battery.It's not the being "out of gas" that kills the battery, but the vehicle operator that kills a battery.
Why would a 2000 Ford Expedition crank but not start and the battery and service engine light come on if it has a brand new battery?
iT CAN BE EITHER FUEL OR FIRE. taKE IT TO A GARAGE.
Why does 1995 Lincoln Town Car does not start sometimes All power is there No corrosion or battery problem Has been going on 18 months?
i will presume that the engine will crank all the time, but not start all the time. check the power in and out of the distributor. if it has a system that uses a crank sensor then that would be the next in the line to check. hope it helps. duboff.
Why would the radio work but car won't start?
You have enough battery power to power the radio, but not enough to turn over your engine. CHeck battery.
Why would a car with a brand new battery let you use the lights and radio but won't even try to crank the engine?
You need to check your ignition system, the problem isn't with the battery, obviously.
What would be wrong with your truck if you replaced the battery and still get no power?
It could be anything from the engine to the connectors
Why wont your 2000 GMC Sierra start?
Starter won't crank over engine? Battery or battery connection issues. Starter cranks over engine but engine won't start? Being a GM product I would suspect fuel delivery problems (bad fuel pump).
Would a bad alternator cause a car to die while driving?
If the alternator fails, it is no longer keeping the battery charged and your engine is running on nothing but battery power. Once the battery runs down, your engine will no longer run.
What could make a 97 Mazda millenia turn but not crank?
A broken Timing Belt would do it. Also the engine electronics are very sensitive, so a SINGLE electrical wire to a critical component would also leave it unable to start - but the battery will still crank it over.
Why wont the engine crank over on a 1994 Chevrolet s-10?
That's insufficient information. In general, "crank over" means that the starter is not turning the engine when you put the keyswitch to the "start" position. The starter can fail to engage because of a failed starter, solenoid, keyswitch, neutral lockout switch, faulty battery, failed alternator or just about anything that would drain the battery.
What would be the problem if a 1997 Chrysler Sebring convertible will not start does not crank?
If the engine will not even crank, then suspect a defective battery or starter. Start by removing both battery cables and cleaning the cable connections and battery posts. Reconnect them and see if it starts. If not put a battery charger on the battery and fully charge it. If it will not accept a charge is is defective. It the vehicle starts then you may have a defective alternator. If the battery is good and it still will not start, suspect a bad starter. You will have to remove it and have it tested.
