Start/ stop batteries are designed for vehicles with start/stop systems that automatically turn off the engine when the vehicle is stopped to save fuel. But can you use a start/stop battery in a normal car?
The answer is yes, you can use a start/stop battery in a normal car. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Start/stop batteries are designed to handle frequent cycles of discharging and recharging, which is what makes them ideal for start/stop systems. They also typically have a higher capacity than regular car batteries. This means they can provide more power and last longer.
In a normal car, a start/stop battery can provide many benefits. For example, if you live in a cold climate, a start/stop battery can handle the increased demands of cold weather starting. It can also provide more power to accessories like audio systems, lights, and air conditioning.
However, it's important to note that start/stop batteries are typically more expensive than regular car batteries. They also may not fit in all vehicles, so it's important to check the specifications before purchasing one,
But if you attempt to use a normal battery on start/ stop type car, it will not only result in battery failure but also add extra fuel consumption. Here are some battery selection tips also.
Why traditional lead-acid start/stop car battery is not recommended?
A lead-acid car battery is a storage device on car for electrical energy and though though nowadays it still play a dominant role inan automotive starting battery market, its defects cannot be ignored, like high pollution, heavy weight, low energy density, short cycle life, and easy overcharge and over-discharge. Even the industry successively launchedhigh-endEFB and AGM lead-acid batteries to cater some of the defects, like emission, battery life, it still looks dwarfed by new energy lithium car batteries.
What’s LiFePO4 Deep cycleCar batteryand why choose it?
LiFePO4 Deep cycle Car battery is a new generation of car start-stop battery that use car-grade lithium iron phosphate batteries with a built-in intelligent battery management system(BMS). It’s more safety, reliability and has smaller size, lighter weight, and longer cycle life. Details are as below（Take Houny smart Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery as examples）
1.Long life
The cycle life of lead-acid batteries is generally 250 to 300 times,while that oflithium iron phosphate battery is about 3000 times. If the vehicle is parked for a long time without starting, the car battery will be exhausted, in this case,lead-acid battery will be scrapped whilelithium iron phosphate battery can still be used normally after being charged without normal life cycle.
2.Ensure safety
Not like acid battery, the main component of lithium iron phosphate battery is iron, which is not easy to catch fire and explode.
3. Improve power and reduce fuel consumption
Houny car battery is with features of low internal resistance, fast ignition speed and larger output current and electric spark, so it can get the fuel fully burned. Compared to lead-acid batteries,Lithium iron phosphate batteries reduce fuel consumption by 5% with battery’s peak horsepower and peak torque increased by about 4.5%, and 3%.
4. High energy density
Under the same volume, the energy density of lithium iron phosphate battery is 50% higher than that of lead-acid battery and Lifepo4 car battery’s weight is 70% lighter than that of lead acid battery.
5. High temperature performance
The peak value of lithium iron phosphate electric heating can reach 350℃~500℃ while that of Lithium Manganate and lithium Borate are around 200°C.
And the operating temperature range of lithium iron phosphate is -20℃~80℃ while that of lead-acid batteries is -20℃~50℃.
6. Energy Saving
The weight of lithium iron phosphate batteries is 70% less than that of lead-acid batteries. This allows the car to accelerate faster and consume less fuel.
7. Improve sound quality
The battery has low internal resistance and high transient output power, which fully meets the stringent requirements for instantaneous high-current power supply when the speaker is working, making the mid-bass sound thicker and the treble more transparent.
8,Science and environmental protection
Houny Lithium iron phosphate car start\ stop batteries do not contain heavy metals and rare metals, are non-toxic, non-polluting, and comply with European RoHS regulations. Used batteries can be recycled, refined and reused.
9. Safe and reliable
Built-in intelligence BMS-Thebattery management system has multiple protection functions such as overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, over-voltage, over-temperature, overload, short circuit protection, etc, to avoid battery damage.
