The use of a carbon-enhanced valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery will help maximize energy recuperation during deceleration, fully realizing SpeedStart’s potential for high power generation and hence electrical energy recovery. This compares with €6,000 to more than €18,000 for a full hybrid or electric vehicle.

Pike sees the market being dominated by enhanced flooded batteries (EFBs) and valve regulate lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, along with a small number of Li-ion batteries. Ultracapacitors, although more expensive, have almost unlimited cycle life and will compete with batteries as stop-start energy solutions.
