actually the chemistry of batteries is
tilted in favor of discharge
it always has been
the amount of power needed can vary, and can be extreme
its reversing the chemical process that is harder to do and uses more power
yes you can dead short a battery
but in all automotive vehicles
the intense starter drain, is much higher than the recharge rate
the battery is not hurt by this
unless the car won't start and you totally drain the battery
