ISS Idle Stop Start systems

Vehicles fitted with Idle Stop Start (ISS) systems are often referred to as mild or micro hybrids and have been developed by vehicle manufacturers to improve vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in line with environmental regulations.

An ISS System works in some situations by shutting off the engine when the vehicle stops, is idling or when the brake is applied. Once the accelerator is depressed the engine restarts enabling the vehicle to be driven. They incorporate innovative design features and specialist raw materials to provide the cycling performance needed to handle frequent discharge and recharge cycles, high charge acceptance for rapid recharge in between engine off modes and the extra power to run electrics whilst the engine is switched off.
By shutting off the vehicle’s engine, the ISS system eliminates the amount of fuel that would otherwise have been used, thus reducing emissions and fuel consumption.
  
ISS batteries utilise thicker battery plates, high density active material, specialist alloy and paste additives for highly durable battery grids that differentiate them from standard automotive batteries. This delivers superior performance whilst maximising the fuel saving benefits of Idle Stop Start Systems. 

The range is also suitable for use in vehicles that do not incorporate ISS systems as they offer improved starting power and greatly enhanced cycling ability.
