external to the battery. The amount of energy provided by a battery (its energy density – i.e. capacity x cell voltage) in one cycle determines, for example, an EV''s range or the battery''s contribution to grid balancing. Gravimetric energy density is expressed in watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg). The typical energy density of EV battery cells
Power did not come back temporarily as described. Checked battery voltage under the hood (car off). It was only 4.4 volts. Disconnected the battery (in the trunk) and checked the posts, it was only 10.4 volts. These readings were taken with a multimeter. I asking for suggestions on where to start. To me, the battery voltage is too low for starters.
