KAPower Nickel Carbon Supercapacitors

Kold Ban International (KBi) announces the introduction of the next generation of its KAPower Nickel Carbon Supercapacitors (aka Ultracapacitors). KAPower’s proprietary asymmetrical double layer design utilizes “space-age” technology to meet the engine cranking demands of today’s accessory laden engines.    

• Offers alternative to lead-acid batteries for engine starting
• Uses physical reaction to store and release energy
• Nickel and carbon electrodes, non-conducting separators and alkaline electrolyte inside each cell provide asymmetric design for “Faradaic pseudo-capacitive behavior”
• Eliminates "no starts" from a dead battery, allowing an engine to crank regardless of the state of the batteries
• Can be fully recharged to 100% capacity in as little as 30 seconds
• Holds its energy for upwards of two years in between use without needing a charge
• Features 1,000,000 cycle life, for a 15 to 20 year lifespan
• Maintenance-free and in most cases outlasts the vehicle it is installed on
• Contains no lead 
• Extends the life of existing batteries
• Virtually unaffected by temperatures and provides reliable cranking down to -40 F
• Military tested and approved
• Provides weight reduction by weighing 62lbs and having approximately the same power as four Group 31 lead-acid batteries
• Offers consistent cranking for engines ranging from 1 to 32 liters
• Requires no internal cell balancing mechanism as with symmetrical designs
• May be connected in series or parallel allowing flexible installations.
• 12 or 24V modules are available
