I am looking for a new battery. I am seeing a number of 'stop/start' batteries. Which vehicles are these for? Thanks.

It's all explained here -

Great!! thanks for that Tolpol62 (my number on my training ship Arethusa, way back in 1962-64).

So, as my car rarely does more than 8-10 starts a day I would guess I don't really need that technology, am I correct?

Only needed for cars that automatically shut down the engine when stopped at lights or in traffic jams etc.
