A dead 16v battery still makes around 13v. A good deal for his operation.

But a dead 16v battery at 13 volts will not turn over the engine.
I always run a normal 12 volt battery with an alternator. Double and triple enter my cars, dual electric fans, electric water pump, EFI gobbles a lot of juice, especially with a Weldon fuel pump, never an issue, ever!
PS: 16 v batteries certainly make your power windows work quickly! But I will deal with them at normal speed.......
