My concern was that with the start stop systems (and by that, i mean a modern car which also has a bunch of gizmos) and i would not want the caps to drain in the minute or two that i am stuck at the stoplights. (Also having the radio and the ac blower on min or headlights would be nice).

Some vehicles consume batteries rather quickly. My motorbike usually kills a battery in 2 years.


How does the autostart stop system need to be hacked for lithium or caps? What makes it unhappy? Lower voltage so it does not stop to engine because it believes a weak battery condition?
