Is a Start-Stop Battery Durable for Use in Regular Vehicles?
1 Answers
Regular vehicles can also use start-stop batteries, but vehicles equipped with automatic start-stop systems cannot use regular batteries, as this would affect the normal operation of the automatic start-stop system. Start-stop batteries are enhanced versions. Signs of a failing car battery include: 1. Difficulty starting the car: If the car suddenly becomes difficult to start without other factors, it may be a sign that the battery is about to fail. 2. Dimming lights during idle: For example, when waiting at a red light or temporarily parked, the headlights may suddenly dim. This is because the engine's charging power decreases during idle. 3. Battery warning light illuminates: When the battery warning light comes on, it alerts the owner to have the battery inspected and repaired at a service center. 4. Normal driving but occasional complete power loss after parking and restarting: This occurs when the battery's lifespan is nearing its end, causing insufficient starting current and increased oxidation at the battery terminals, leading to a complete power loss issue.
