I drove a Qashqai wi stop start, and an electronic brake. And darkened windows. Vowed my next Berlingo would have none o them things.
Had to buy a 63 plate . . . mightnt be brill on fuel, but I will be keeping it a considerable time! I hope. . .new technology scares me!

We are experiencing a lot of issues with the batteries on the stop start cars, of all types. Seems they only last about half the time of an ordinary battery, presumably because of its type and use.
Problem is, the stop start will only work,when the battery is fully charged or there a outs, so if the condition of the battery is poor, it will never stop start.
Virtually every car we get in , the battery is in this state.
I would get it checked out with a quality battery tester, which must be correctly connected directly onto the battery terminals.
Replacement Exide AGM stop start batteries for the Berlingo/ Partner are 720 ah, and cost me £100 to buy give or take a few quid.

The start-stop on the Berlingo is very clever.

I wonder if they used the " Dynasatart " as the inspiration for it, nothing much is ever completely " new "
