Can you use an ordinary battery in a start/stop car?
Start-stop systems require a battery with modern technology, because normal starter batteries are not designed to meet the higher demands of these vehicles. For this reason, only EFB or AGM batteries should be installed in vehicles with automatic stop-start systems.
Can I change stop-start battery myself?
It’s best to have a dealer or workshop install a stop-start battery. They will have the diagnostic equipment needed to reset the car’s active energy management system. Reprogramming tools can be purchased, but doing it yourself is only recommended for experienced hobby mechanics.

Why does the start-stop system do not work?
The reason why the start-stop system does not function can be due to the interaction between both of these essential systems. The top priority for any battery is to start the engine.

Is the AGM battery the same as a stop start battery?
Although these batteries have similar characteristics to AGM batteries, they are not the same and the two should not be interchanged. Likewise, just installing a larger capacity lead-acid battery is no solution for Start-Stop battery replacement.
