I did enjoy the rest of my evening thanks
And thanks for finally devoting a bit more time to the explanation rather than saying originally "The starter motor is not a purely resistive load, there is a significant inductive element to it. It therefore has impedance along with resistance, therefore Ohm's law (for a resistive circuit, as per your calculations) doesn't properly apply. "
This is the first time that you've said that reactive current flows through the battery, which it must do if your original statement is true.
As I've been saying, if it doesn't then the circuit is purely resisistive, whatever goes on in the coils in the starter motor.
If it does flow through the battery, then the circuit is no longer purely resistive, but it would have to be significant in comparison to the main active DC current for your statement "Ohm's law (for a resistive circuit, as per your calculations) doesn't properly apply", to be true.
Sorry, but I don't believe that reactive current from a car's starter motor can flow through the car's battery, unless you can find a paper, or a URL on the internet that says that it does (in a car's starter circuit).
Alternatively, if you have access to the equipment, do this:
On a Spark Ignitrion engine (such as the Accord 2.4), disable the ignition circuit, then crank the engine and take some screenshots that show waveforms that a massive DC current of 300 amps circulating, also has sufficient reactive currents to be able to say that "there is a significant inductive element to it. It therefore has impedance along with resistance, therefore Ohm's law (for a resistive circuit, as per your calculations) doesn't properly apply." If you don't fancy using a modern car (I wouldn't really) then use an older 2.0-ish SI car without ECU etc.
I genuinely would like to see the waveforms (otherwise you're speculating)
