Exide Technologies has produced 2.5 million Start-Stop batteries in Europe since 2009

Green Car Congress

These advanced lead acid batteries are used in vehicles with Start-Stop systems aimed to cut the fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. In 2004, Exide Technologies was the first in the market supplying an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology-based micro-hybrid battery for the Citroën C3.

Study sees gradual, focused replacement of lead-acid SLI batteries by Li-ion batteries over next couple of years

Green Car Congress

This would especially be true for vehicle sales in developing countries, where the issues of CO 2 emission penalties often do not apply and the type of SLI battery purchased would be a simple cost factor for the owner who would see a replacement every five years as more feasible than an expensive battery. —Ferg et al. Schuldt, J.

Bosch Passes 1M Mark for Start-Stop Systems

Green Car Congress

In the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), start-stop systems reduce fuel consumption, and thus CO 2 emissions, by up to 5%. In the NEDC urban cycle, the saving is as much as 8%. The system is rounded off by a crankshaft sensor, sensors on the pedals, and a deep-cycle resistant battery. Earlier post.)
