Description
uSTART Like a Battery … But Better
uSTART® is an ultracapacitor based battery support module. uSTART®
improves battery life by reducing the cycling of battery, maintaining a
higher vehicle voltage during crank and under a wide range of load
conditions. It supplies nearly all of the cranking current during engine
starts. For short stops, such as during a delivery, the uSTART® provides
the energy to the electrical bus to support ancillary devices until a
crank is initiated. uSTART® stores a relatively small amount of energy
compared with a battery, but it delivers engine cranking current. For more
information about uSTART®, please see the Product Info.
