Probably around 10V... each car is different... and I don't plan on ever finding out how much on my car...

We did... between 8 and 10 volts.

Here's the deal. Starting a car depends on many factors... temperature, crank time, type of engine, etc. You can't just straight up say it takes XX volts to start a car.
Sooo... SKDR112888 said the car started on 8 volts, use that number.
