Video tutorial

If our car is equipped with the start & stop system, and we need to change the battery, we must make a careful choice regarding the purchase of a new battery to install, and the youtuber helps us by giving us advice on the matter. Traditional batteries with free electrolyte are not suitable for start & stop systems.

The AGM batteries are built with gas recombination technology, and the electrolyte is absorbed by the glass wool; the AFB has free electrolyte, but has been enhanced with a carbon additive that increases its lifespan. These last two types have been designed to have more charge and discharge cycles and are therefore suitable for start & stop systems, especially the AGM. Installing a traditional battery on a car with start & stop means depleting it after two months; it could also cause warning lights to come on in the instrument panel, because the voltages start to fluctuate.
