Advanced technology from Supercharge Batteries

Supercharge says its advanced Stop-Start and Hybrid Auxiliary Battery technology marks a significant evolution from conventional lead-acid batteries, which were designed primarily for occasional engine starts.
Rather than simply providing a burst of power to crank the engine, these modern batteries are specifically designed to endure frequent charge and discharge cycles, handling the repeated power demands every time the engine shuts off and restarts.
“While traditional batteries are optimised for short bursts of high current during start-up, the latest systems are engineered to consistently support essential vehicle electronics and deliver quick, reliable engine restarts hundreds of times each day,” Supercharge Batteries Marketing Manager, Stan Aldover, said.
Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) and Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technologies are at the heart of this advancement, engineered to endure two to three times more cycles than standard batteries.
“While a typical battery may last three to five years under normal conditions, Supercharge Stop-Start batteries are built to handle the ongoing demands of stop-start systems with minimal degradation, reducing both the frequency of replacements and overall maintenance costs,” Stan said.
“Another defining advantage is the superior recharge performance. Traditional batteries typically have a standard rate of recharge that is sufficient for fewer cycles.
“In contrast, the hybrid technology features rapid recharge capabilities that ensure the battery quickly regains power even during short idle periods.
“This rapid recharge is critical for maintaining vehicle functionality, especially when modern vehicles are equipped with multiple high-demand electrical systems.”
Further, Supercharge Batteries says the optimisation of charge acceptance further ensures the battery can efficiently and reliably support the vehicle’s overall electrical ecosystem, unlike a conventional battery that’s not designed for such persistent performance demands.
“From a sustainability standpoint, these advanced batteries are a game-changer,” Stan said.
“Their prolonged lifespan and improved cycle life mean less frequent replacements, reducing electronic waste and the environmental footprint associated with battery manufacturing and disposal.
“While the initial cost might be higher compared to traditional batteries, the long-term benefits – both economic and ecological – make the investment worthwhile.
“The new Supercharge Stop-Start and Hybrid Auxiliary Battery technology offers higher cycle durability, better energy capacity, rapid recharge performance, and enhanced sustainability, setting a new benchmark that traditional batteries simply can’t meet.”
