There was a discussion which included the Ford Focus with stop-start a while ago and one feature was an uprated starter. I asked if this was an indication that perhaps a standard one would fry with increased use but the concensus at the time was that it was there to provide a quicker startup rather than to have a longer life.

Interesting...
