What is the purpose of the battery's ampere strength?

The purpose of the battery's ampere strength is to provide starting power and run electrical systems. The ampere strength, or current capacity, indicates how much electrical power the battery can deliver at a specific time. In aviation, a battery must supply enough current to start the aircraft's engine and provide power to essential electrical systems, such as navigation lights, avionics, and radios, while the engine is not running.

A well-functioning battery is critical for the safe operation of an aircraft, ensuring that all necessary systems can operate after engine start and during any situation where the electrical system may rely solely on battery power, such as during an in-flight emergency or electrical failure.

The other options do not describe the battery's function accurately: batteries do not store fuel, the measurement of pilot workload pertains to the demands placed on a pilot, and airspeed is indicated by the aircraft's airspeed indicator, not the battery.
