I believe it had a 12v 20A lead acid battery that powered an electric starter. I don't know if it had a plug for an external power source. We have a very knowledgeable Japanese member who might have some information.What kind of electrical batteries were on a Japanese aircraft carrier in 1942?
What other kind of electrical batteries would be on a Japanese aircraft carrier in 1942?
Where could I find more information about this?

Shinpachi! Thank you for all your helpful information. You've shown that inertia starters were used on fighters and fighter-bombers, but how about carrier bombers like the Aichi D3A?Japanese loved the inertia for a fighter.
Frankly, I could not believe when I was a kid.

Most aircraft that I have seen that had a powered inertia starter had the unit powered by a small electric motor.
