For TPin if you missed it

Couple of points about car batteries. If you have a car with a stop/start facility, in other words one that saves fuel by cutting out whilst stationary, then you need a different type of battery called an AGM battery

Because it is different you will also think about getting the right battery charger for it as well

So do check which battery is correct for your vehicle


So what is the difference? you won't really know until the battery dies. An AGM battery dies instantly whereas a "normal" battery gets slowly worse until useless.

As for starter motors you will also need a different one from normal if your car has stop/start. You will need a starter designed for stop/start . This is a starter that can handle more starts without wearing out.


So don't be caught out with being sold the wrong battery or starter motor
