Can a car with auto start-stop use a regular battery?
1 Answers
It is possible to replace the battery in an auto start-stop car with a regular battery, but it is not recommended. This is because regular batteries do not have the same powerful functionality as the original battery, and some features cannot be achieved with a regular battery. The battery used in auto start-stop systems is a valve-regulated sealed lead-acid battery with glass fiber separators. The specialized battery for auto start-stop systems is an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery. AGM batteries have higher cyclic charging capability compared to regular batteries, offering a longer service life, more reliable low-temperature performance, reduced risk of accidents and environmental pollution, simpler maintenance, less deep discharging, and higher capacity stability throughout their lifespan.
