Starter Batteries

SKELSTART is a starter battery based on Supercapacitor. With this starter battery, it is possible to reliably start any engine, regardless of its size, at any place and at any time and repeatedly, even at -40 °C. The supercapacitors used in the starter battery are an energy storage technology comparable to batteries. Their strengths are 60 times higher performance than today's batteries combined with outstanding reliability, even at extreme temperatures. The service life of more than 15 years (over 1 million life cycles) allows maintenance-free use and thus a reduction in costs, maintenance cycles and complexity. As a starter battery, the Skelstart is therefore significantly more reliable and more cost-effective overall than previously used starter batteries.

For armored vehicles, the Skelstart fulfills all current and valid MIL-Standards. The Skelstart can be equipped with a CAN-BUS interface, which is currently still in the development phase. For all other non-military applications, the Skelstart offers the same advantages in the form of an existing standard version.“

A starter battery with a communication interface is currently under development.

Supercapacitors are extremely temperature resistant and operate at near full efficiency even at -40 °C. The Starter Batterie only requires 9V to charge, so it will work even if your batteries are dead.

Extends the life of the batteries up to 2X. The starting current no longer comes directly from the batteries, protecting them from frequent high current spikes.

Supercapacitors have a life of more than 1 million charge/discharge cycles, which means the Starter Battery will outlast the life of your vehicle. No maintenance required, no upgrades needed.

You no longer need to idle your engine to charge the battery. By eliminating the need to idle, fuel consumption can be reduced by an average of 400 liters per year. This saves money and reduces CO2 and NOx emissions.

The charging time from zero discharge to full charge is ~10 minutes. In reality, starting the engine takes about ~2 seconds, during which only 10-20% of the energy is used. This means that the charge drops from 100% to 80%, which in turn means that the Crank Start Battery still has energy for further starting and that it is charged from 80/90% to 100% within a short time window.
