What is the Difference Between Auto Start-Stop Batteries and Regular Batteries?

[AnthonyDella]

Start-stop batteries have a higher number of usage cycles and a longer lifespan compared to 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 equipped with start-stop systems. Additionally, the start-stop function can be modified via ECU to 'default off,' requiring manual activation to take effect. Further details are as follows: 1. Start-stop batteries: These batteries are manufactured using stamping processes due to higher technical requirements. Start-stop batteries have a larger capacity and can charge and discharge rapidly. Ordinary lead-acid batteries cannot handle multiple high-current discharges in a short time, as their separators do not allow rapid ion passage. 2. Conditions for start-stop shutdown: The conditions for start-stop shutdown are stringent: low battery charge, low air temperature, low water temperature, fog lights on, distance from the last activation to the current stop being less than 300 meters, or engine speed not reaching above 1800 RPM from the last activation to the current stop.
