Given that,

Potential difference of battery is

V = 24V

Total charge battery can transferred

q = 340,000C

Work done by the battery?

Work done is given as

W = qV

Where q is charge in Columbs

V is potential difference in Volts

Then, W = qV

W = 340,000*24

W = 8,160,000 J

Work done by the battery over it's useful life time is 8,160,000J
