Kold Ban Introduces KBi KSM Kompact SuperCapacitor – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
LAKE IN THE HILLS, Ill. – Kold-Ban International announced that the KBi KSM Kompact starting module is now available.
This engine-starting device eliminates no starts from “dead” batteries for recreational boats, Class B & C RVs, paratransit buses, and other smaller, commercial & noncommercial watercraft and vehicles, according to a release. It is an auxiliary power source that is installed in conjunction with traditional cranking batteries and derives its power from those batteries or an engine charging system. It is also designed to work with and supplement lithium battery engine cranking limitations.
“We had developed supercapacitor engine starting devices for larger engines found in motorcoaches and construction equipment,” explains Jim Burke, vice president at Kold-Ban International, Ltd. “Then, we saw a need for the same type of solution for smaller engines, so we introduced the KBi KSM Kompact. It’s a dependable solution for cranking engines on the road and water.”
The KBi KSM Kompact module depends on its KAPower module, an energy storage device which is engineered to reliably crank and start internal combustion engines. For every engine starting event it releases energy in short, powerful bursts to crank the engine, then fully recharges in about 30 seconds. It requires no maintenance, will increase the life of the vehicle’s battery, and can be installed easily.
Recharging can be accomplished from virtually any 12-volt DC electrical power source. Charging and discharging will not wear out the device. The KBi KSM Kompact module can be used again and again for the life of the boat or vehicle.
