It's been a while since I looked at this, and my guess is someone has changed something, because my values were never negative when I ran my scenarios.
Ah is a poor way to measure power draw anyhow, because voltage is never constant. I need to come up with a better formula that factors in the fact that voltage decreases over time, which decreases delivered power. All that matters is that the quantity of energy needed to start the engine is met by the quantity of energy contained in the capacitor bank. I should probably be calculating this stuff in Joules.
