ECU's should come with buck/boost converters to run the damn things under low battery situations. If it can crank, I'm sure it can be made so it can shove a few amps into the ECU as well... I've seen many situations where modern cars won't start despite having enough to crank. Give me mech derv any day. My POS VW almost didn't start for the same reason this morning I reckon. It was slow cranking but took 3x as many turns to fire. It was only -2! My 306 managed to fire every time first turn even at -15!
