    Well at least you didn't just throw a perfectly good battery in the bin like many do! Stop/start will cause many issues during your ownership, next time it stops working, just breathe a sigh of relief, and forget about it! It's a rubbish feature...

    Off to join the French foreign legion. Do they still use camels ? 🤣

    A car forum I am a member of, used to joke that a cute innocent kitten was shot every time a user posted a question/thread without using the search button first!

    In saying that my start/stop hasn't worked for 6 months or so. I'll have to do a search to find the answer, Maybe connect my CTek charger to battery.
