What is the difference between a start-stop battery and a regular battery?
1 Answers
Start-stop batteries and regular batteries differ in the following aspects: 1. Lifespan: Dedicated start-stop batteries for cars have more usage cycles and a longer lifespan compared to regular batteries, with a normal service life of over 6 years, which is 3-8 times that of regular batteries. Their plates are harder than those in regular batteries, and the active material is less prone to shedding, making them suitable for vehicles with start-stop systems. Regular batteries typically have a lifespan of around 2 years. 2. Battery capacity: Start-stop batteries have a larger capacity and can charge and discharge quickly. Ordinary lead-acid batteries cannot handle multiple high-current discharges in a short time, as their separators do not allow ions to pass through quickly. 3. Price: Start-stop batteries are manufactured using stamping processes, which involve higher technical requirements and costs, leading to an overall higher price for the equipment. Once core technologies are mastered, domestically produced start-stop batteries will have significant price advantages in the future.
