2 Introduction
2.1 Why We Need a Battery Configuration Tool
This section illustrates why we need the battery configuration tool when change the battery of
modern vehicles.
Start-stop System: No Movement, No Fuel Consumption
In response to climate change, governments around the world are increasing environment
regulations on vehicle to improve vehicle fuel economy and reduce emissions. For example,
Europe has stipulated that by 2015, emission of 100 percent of the vehicles on its roads be
reduced to 130 grams of CO2 per kilometer. The requirements of strictly emission control put a
strain on vehicle emission technology.
In automobiles, a start-stop system or stop-start system automatically shuts down and restarts the
internal combustion engine to reduce the amount of time the engine spends idling, The electrical
consumer units in the vehicle continue to be supplied during the stop and the current energy
consumption is monitored. When the journey is to be continued, operating the clutch automatically
restarts the engine. This means in the standstill phases no fuel is consumed and no CO2 is
emitted. This feature is present in hybrid electric vehicles, but has also appeared in vehicles
which lack a hybrid electric powertrain.
Devices of this type have been tested since the mid-1970s, when the Toyota corporation fitted a
Crown sedan with an electronic device that would automatically switch off the engine after sitting
stationary for 1.5 seconds. Citroën introduced a more refined system in its C2 and C3 models by
2006, named "Stop and Start", followed by BMW, Fiat Group, Ford, Honda, Opel, Renault
,Volkswagen and so on.
Why We Need Battery Configuration Tool
As one of the potential issues with Start-Stop vehicles, replacing the battery is, unlike a traditional
starter battery, is not a simple procedure. With a start-stop system, the battery is strictly linked to
the power distribution system and the electronic control unit. So when a battery has to be
replaced, you have to take into consideration the impact it will have on the control unit and on any
Stop Start system installed. Some manufacturers, like the Volkswagen-Audi group, require a code
to be inserted when the battery is replaced; others (BMW) might show an error message when the
battery is replaced and it will remain until the system is updated after replacement. It requires both
skill and a diagnostic tool to ensure the correct installation is completed and any error message
resolved.
