Can a start-stop battery be used in a car without start-stop function?

A start-stop battery can be used in a car without start-stop function. Characteristics of start-stop batteries: Service life: Start-stop batteries can endure more charge-discharge cycles and have a longer lifespan compared to regular batteries. Their plates are harder than ordinary ones, making the active material less prone to shedding. They are suitable for vehicles with start-stop mode. Additionally, the start-stop function can be reprogrammed via ECU to "default off," requiring manual activation to take effect. Manufacturing process: Start-stop batteries are produced using stamping technology, which demands higher technical requirements. However, start-stop batteries have larger capacities and can charge and discharge rapidly. Conventional lead-acid batteries cannot handle multiple high-current discharges in a short time, as their separators do not allow ions to pass through quickly. Shutdown conditions: The shutdown conditions for start-stop systems are quite stringent: low battery charge, low air temperature, low coolant temperature, when fog lights are on, if the distance since the last activation is less than 300 meters, or if the engine speed since the last activation has not exceeded 1800 rpm. If these conditions are not met, the auto-stop function will not activate.
