With Start-Stop vehicles, the engine is switched off during short stops for instance at traffic lights in order to save fuel and to reduce CO2 emissions by 5-10%.

Technology Focus:

In response to CO2 reduction targets set by EU that require engine to be shut off instead of idling while the vehicle is stopped, nearly all vehicle manufacturers launch start-stop platforms in Europe automotive battery.

Requirements:

Battery is required to start engine more frequently and provide energy for device support while "stop" mode Battery is integrated within a sophisticated energy and battery management system

Battery Technology:

Advanced AGM technology for: super high power and cold cranking ampere; very good charging acceptance performance; much longer cycle life compared to normal flooded car batteries.
