mate thats all been thought of, most systems dont activate if thats the case, and its been in production for over 10 years now with no worries...
give it a few years and it'll be the norm on most cars
remember these cars are designed to be stop start, its not like your shutting it off and re startring a normal car every time.... the engines are designed with this in mind and fire instantly, belt driven starters can crank all day long and not burn out, alternators that are much more powerful and larger capacity batteries than the 2xAAs in your current car...
just interested to see how its done on a turbo car, that said like i mentioned the system isnt always in operation unless the car thinks its right, so if you have been flogging it or the engine is too cold etc... it wont shut off
