APU LIMITATIONS

A
APU starts (with battery only) shall not be performed at temperatures below –25 °F (-32 °C). Below –25 °F (–32 °C), an external power cart shall be
used, or if no power cart is available, battery should be maintained or stored
at temperatures above 0 °F.

Ground power cart requirements for APU start is 500 amperes with an ampere range of 300 to 1,000 (min/max).

Voltage requirement is 28 Vdc with a voltage range of 23.9 to 29.1 Vdc.

APU is not intended for operation in flight and shall be turned OFF prior to takeoff.
