I figured that entering winter with a near-seven year old battery was pushing it, hence jumping in and buying the new battery.

Since replacing it, the stop/start has become permanently available, once warmed up.

If your car is still on the original battery then I'd recommend replacing it in the next month or so. I got mine from a Volvo dealer for £99 + delivery... https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showp...1&postcount=12
Thanks for the tip. That sounds like the solution. Just quick q, how can you tell which battery needs replacing? The main battery seems easy enough to get to but if the issue is with the support battery, that could be more of a pain.
