No it won't. The Hindenburg and Graf II's were powered by the LOF 6 (DB 602) v-12 Diesels (1200 peak HP). These generally started by large 24 Volt systems.
But (big but) I don't know if the Hindenburg motors weren't converted to be "air start" given the risk of sparks. These beastly motors were still produced through the 70's in different variations.

Those ships were powered by diesel engines, and as such, you're going to need a battery that a diesel truck would use. I don't know what voltage system the Germans used back then in their airships.

Probably not. Most larger aircraft systems use 28v DC busses with a 24 volt battery.

I wouldn't be too sure you could. Lots of aircraft electrical systems from that period were 26 and 38 volt equipment. You'd have to do some research to be certain.

sure, depends on the car battery though. you would need a high output of "crank amps" in order to do it. you could start a pretty good blaze if you were to arc the power too....
