Stop-start battery fitment warning

Why you need to complete 'battery validation' process on cars that are equipped with stop-start technology

Stop-start battery fitment warning
Failure to validate a battery can cause issues with the stop-start functionality, Manbat says.

Vehicles equipped with stop-start technology constantly monitor the voltage, current, temperature and operating time of the battery via a battery management module.

This information is processed to determine the battery’s state of charge, starting capacity, electrical consumption, energy reserve and optimum charging voltage, to ensure the system applies to the correct charging regime and keeps it in the best possible condition.

Failure to correctly validate the battery can cause issues with stop-start functionality, shutdown non-essential electrical systems and the premature failure of the battery.
