Skyactive i-Stop engined cars - ALTERNATIVE BATTERIES.

[travajante]

No prob bro. Already referred Mr Kamote to someone I know in the area.

Apologies if I don't post much as I usually shy away from self serving topics.

Don't apologize for being of help, sir. It's not like you were shamelessly plugging.[emoji120]

what i would like to know is how those LiFeP04 "smart" batteries perform with regular cars and cars with i-stop system..

Been watching these, too. An equivalently sized batt for the 3 is about 7.25kgs, that's really light for a Q85 equivalent(Great for the weight conscious MX5 guys[emoji4]). Non-gassing, w/ a life expectancy of what, 10years perhaps? They're about $400 currently.[emoji848] Awaiting more real world longterm reviews....& a good price drop.[emoji4]

Not sure if this is the right thread to say this so apologies if it isnt. Just want to say this forum is a great help to someone like me a car newbie. I learn so much everyday just by reading the comments. Again a big thanks to the community here.

press lightly on the brakes (but i do not recommend this)

What do you mean by this sir? Thanks

I-stop will not trigger at stop if you're not pressing the brakes hard enough. the system reads the pressure applied on the brakes to trigger the i-stop.

i understand that the manufacturer's intention is to lower the carbon footprint by all means... its like the EGR and PCV.. to reduce pollution at the expense of the engine..
