Bosch Passes 1M Mark for Start-Stop Systems

Green Car Congress

This ensures that the engine is only stopped if the battery has stored enough energy to start the engine again quickly. The system is rounded off by a crankshaft sensor, sensors on the pedals, and a deep-cycle resistant battery. A well-charged battery is a condition for start-stop.

Industry study finds lead-acid to remain most wide-spread automotive energy storage for foreseeable future; new chemistries continue to grow

Green Car Congress

Advanced lead-based batteries (AGM and EFB technologies) are installed to meet extra requirements in start-stop and basic- micro-hybrid vehicles, due to their increased charge recoverability and higher deep-cycle resistance. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving.

In comparison, energy management, such as load shifting, requires systems of up to MWh or even GWh levels that are capable of discharge durations up to a few hours or more at designated power. This type of application requires high round-trip energy efficiency and a long deep-cycle life, along with low operation and maintenance costs.
