Is your car battery always dying in Traffic? Here's why
Have you noticed that when you're stuck in traffic, your car turns off, and when you lift your foot off the brake, the car starts again? That’s start-stop technology!
With start-stop systems, your battery needs to supply power to your car’s electronics, like the radio and air conditioning, even when the engine shuts off. If you use a standard battery in a car with start-stop technology, it won't be designed to handle these frequent starts and stops, leading to faster wear and failure.
Most modern cars are equipped with start-stop tech, but many drivers don't even know it.
