Why Start/Stop Doesn't Burn Up Starters Like You Think

I'm not a fan of start/stop technology. I don't use it in my Subaru. But I bristle every time I hear someone say that it burns up your starter much faster. No, it doesn't. The starters in these engines are your Father's starter. They're redesigned from the ground up. They are heavy duty, use different bearings, brushes, and solenoid designs. They run at much slower speeds and they have much better current management to reduce damage from low voltage cranking. Complain about start/stop all you want, I won't fight you on that. But condemn the system because of the starter. See how different they are in this article.
