stop start and battery advice on a Ford

The stop start function on the wife's focus has stopped working.
Dealer is saying battery has had it.
Looking at the internet it suggests having a dealer fit a new battery as diy can lead to electronic problems, what do you know of this?

Also, if the car starts ok, she drives to the shops, she stops the car does what ever then starts it again and drives to next shop and so on and each time the car starts why does the stop start not stop? Surly there is enough guts in the battery to start the car as the wife is able to start it.

confused wit nagging doubt that battery is duff but it could be due to only knowing about old type of technology
