THE PILOT EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENG WITH A LESS THAN FULLY-CHARGED BATTERY. THE FORMER NAVY PLT EXITED THE ACFT, LEAVING HIS NONPLT PAX ABOARD, AND THE MAG SWITCH 'ON'. HE ATTEMPTED TO SLOWLY PULL THE PROP THRU COMPRESSION STROKE BY HAND. HE HAD JUST BARELY ROTATED THE PROP WHEN THE ENG STARTED. THE PLT JUMPED CLEAR & WATCHED AS HIS ACFT MOVED ACROSS THE RAMP & COLLIDED WITH THE TAIL OF A PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED C-310.
