Operation: Does the START&STOP system damage cars?

European regulations on pollution have allowed for the optional and then mandatory addition of various anti-pollution systems such as AdBlue, START&STOP, DPS, FAP, and many others. Today, specifically, we will talk about the START&STOP system which is responsible for turning off and on the car when you are not in motion but the car is on, such as when you are stopped at a traffic light. This way, you will reduce CO2 emissions. Unfortunately, the START&STOP system has some noticeable flaws. For example, the starter motor of cars with this system is subjected to greater stress, which will result in its replacement in a short time compared to cars without this anti-pollution system. Another example of an important part of the car that will wear out quickly is the battery, which will be constantly charging and discharging. As we know, the battery charges when the car is on, but with the START&STOP system, the battery will not have a continuous charge but will charge in bursts. This system can be temporarily deactivated through the button usually located on the central dashboard or by making a modification to the control unit.
