An engine starting device designed for recreational boats, Class B & C RVs, paratransit buses, and other smaller, commercial & non-commercial watercraft and vehicles.
Lake in the Hills, Illinois, January 2, 2024, Almost everybody has experienced a dead battery and the delay it causes in having some fun and/or getting the job done. All that is changed with the release of the all new KBi KSM Kompact™ starting module. 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.
During a recent interview, Jim Burke, vice president at Kold-Ban International, Ltd., made these comments, “We had developed supercapacitor engine starting devices for larger engines found in motorcoaches and construction equipment. 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™’s KAPower module is an energy storage device engineered to reliably crank and start internal combustion engines. For every engine starting event it releases energy in short, powerful bursts to crank your engine and then fully recharge in about 30 seconds. Recharging can be accomplished from virtually any 12-volt DC electrical power source. Charging and discharging will not wear out the device.
KBi KSM Kompact™ advantages:
- Stores cranking voltage until needed: a charge typically lasts several months.
- Long service life – It can be used again and again for the life of your boat or vehicle.
- Easy to install – Place it in any orientation, even vertically or upside down.
- Automatically recharge within seconds – When it needs to be recharged, any DC power source can be used.
- The performance is virtually unaffected by the temperature.
- Increases the life of batteries.
- Requires NO maintenance.
- Made in the USA.
The KBi KSM Kompact™ gives peace of mind on the water or the road, whenever there is a need to start up an engine and maybe need to deal with a dead battery. This device is the ideal backup system for traditional lead acid batteries, because it’s always ready to help start the engine. Plus, the KBi KSM Kompact™ often outlives the boat or vehicle it’s installed on and requires no maintenance.
