How long does it take for the auto start-stop to recover after replacing the battery in the Excelle?

When the car battery is not undercharged, the auto start-stop function can resume normal operation after 8 hours. Here is some relevant information: 1. Auto Start-Stop: The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light). When it's time to move again, the system automatically restarts the engine. 2. Auto Hold: Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example when stopping at a red light, it eliminates the need to use the handbrake or electronic parking brake, simplifying operations. For automatic transmission models, it also avoids frequent shifting between D to N or D to P.
I just replaced the battery in my Excelle last month, and it took a couple of days for the start-stop function to return to normal. During the first two days of driving, no matter how I pressed the brake, the start-stop didn't respond, and I initially thought the repair shop hadn't installed it properly. Later, I asked a familiar auto repair technician, and he said the new battery needs time for the vehicle's computer to relearn the data. I drive about 20 kilometers to and from work every day, and on the third day during my commute, I suddenly noticed the start-stop started working again. The air conditioning temperature setting also played a role in this process—I usually set it to 22 degrees, and it's said that setting the temperature too high increases the load, prolonging the recovery time. Additionally, the battery model is crucial; when replacing it, make sure to match the original factory specifications. Using the wrong model might permanently affect the start-stop function.
