Just curious is it the start stop function itself that kills the battery? When I drive my Jeep everytime I'm at a stop and it shuts off and then starts back up I feel like its not good for the starter and other engine components. Off, On, Off, On, doesn't seem good. What's the point anyway?
Maybe it's best just to turn the start stop function off all together? I don't know I definitely have been considering it. What's the pros versus cons?
Pretty much what Sean said, the OEM batteries aren't great - plus factor in that car batteries typically have a 3-5 year lifespan of regular use and you get this. The things the ESS system does to the batteries/engine is fine mechanically.The batteries you get from the factory just suck
If I were the OP, I'd just swap out the batteries, especially if his '20 MY is a '19 CY build date and he's running up on the low end of the projected battery lifespan.
