Start-stop batteries
Start-stop batteries are 12V products built for frequent engine stop/start cycling and high electrical load in start-stop vehicles. This page maps the SSA range; EFB versus AGM follows the vehicle manufacturer’s specified technology and is not proven here. Code scanning lives on the models index. Standard SLI starting, flooded PzS and stationary UPS backup are not this family.

How to read the handbook class
An ampere-hour on the start-stop table does not replace the box under the bonnet. The maker’s line says EFB or AGM; that line and the original box millimetres are the quote inputs. A classic cranking box does not carry the same cycle and stays in the starter family. A passenger handbook and a refrigerated light-commercial fleet are separate lists. If the handbook does not say start-stop, leave this table and open the starter range.

Applications
Technology
Developed for use in start-stop-equipped vehicles, Nova's start-stop range is described at the source as AGM/gel construction, spanning 70 to 95 Ah. In a start-stop vehicle the engine shuts off and restarts automatically at every stop in traffic, which means far more starting cycles than a standard passenger car and the need to carry the load of electrical accessories (climate control, lights, infotainment) running at the same time.
How it works
Built to meet the high current and discharge demands generated by frequent engine stop/start cycling in start-stop vehicles. A standard starter battery may not survive that cycle load for the same service life, which is why a battery specified for start-stop use is recommended.
Construction
The source describes this construction as "AGM/gel"; the exact construction requires technical verification.
Limitations
- The source page does not clarify whether the cell is AGM or gel construction; maintenance requirements (whether watering is needed) should be confirmed once the exact construction is verified.
- Start-stop batteries generally need the specific technology (EFB/AGM) the vehicle manufacturer specifies to deliver the cycle performance the system expects; consulting the vehicle manual before replacement is recommended.

Frequently asked questions
- Can a standard SLI battery replace a start-stop battery?
- Start-stop vehicles expect the technology specified for frequent starting and high electrical load (EFB/AGM). A standard SLI battery may not survive that cycle load for the same service life; the vehicle manual governs replacement.
- How does Start-stop batteries work, and what does the range cover?
- Built to meet the high current and discharge demands generated by frequent engine stop/start cycling in start-stop vehicles. A standard starter battery may not survive that cycle load for the same service life, which is why a battery specified for start-stop use is recommended.
- Which duty classes is Start-stop batteries evaluated for?
- Start-stop-equipped passenger vehicles Fleet vehicles with high electrical load and frequent starting cycles
- What is the difference between the Start-stop batteries family page and the models list?
- The search is the technology specified for frequent starting and a high electrical load; a standard starting box does not replace the vehicle manual. The Start-stop batteries family page explains the class and the limit. The code and the published row are in the models list. Compartment, voltage and duty are written together on the quote request. The list alone is not a fitment decision.
- What limits apply when specifying Start-stop batteries?
- The source page does not clarify whether the cell is AGM or gel construction; maintenance requirements (whether watering is needed) should be confirmed once the exact construction is verified. Start-stop batteries generally need the specific technology (EFB/AGM) the vehicle manufacturer specifies to deliver the cycle performance the system expects; consulting the vehicle manual before replacement is recommended.
