The battery temp limit was 57C, where above is only approved for GPU start. Above 71C batt temp no start at all.
They moved from Ni-Cad to lead acid batteries a few years ago. Those limits no longer apply with the now lead acid installation as there is no thermal runway risk.
Thank you for those clarifications.
Just by the bye, the Dash-8s and ATRs would have to have similar temperature limits wouldn't they?
