Start-stop batteries are rechargeable vehicle batteries that work on a start-stop mechanism, and automatically shut off the engine when the car is idle, for instance,when the car has stopped at a red light. It automatically stops the engine when the car comes to a halt, and the battery powers all the electrical systems and devices such as air conditioning and the radio until the engine starts again. It starts the engine within a fraction of a second when the driver releases the brake. The advanced battery management system then decouples the alternator to charge the battery. The brake recuperation converts brake energy into electrical energy, which further charges the battery.
