I have never heard of that either. Most people usually use 12volt lead acid or similar type batteries (car batteries) for starters Size doesn't matter, just chemistry to provide the needed amperage these starters demand.
Turning over a .90 is a hard task for the cheaper starters. Most of them say they are able to start a 0-.90 size engine, but I find they have trouble with a brand new .60-.90 even @ 24volts.

For my 11cc and 13cc motors I use a 24v starter. It may be possible to start the larger motors with a 12v, but will most likly need to loosen the plug a turn or two to do so. I've heard of folks using a 12v starter on 24v, just need to limit the time the "on" button is pressed.
