Prestolite Leece-Neville PowerPro Extreme 12 Starter with iRelay Technology
Prestolite designed the iRelay (intelligent relay) technology for the Leece-Neville Pro Extreme 12 starters to provide programmable protection features as well as protection against early life failures caused by cranking issues, pinion, and ring gear tooth abutments.
“This new capability builds on our commitment to ensure our reliable starters are further protected from premature failure while increasing reliability and performance on the job site, particularly in extreme operating conditions like construction and mining,” said Jonathan Smith, assistant director of sales and marketing, Prestolite, in the company’s press release announcing the addition of the new iRelay technology.
Features of the PowerPro Extreme 12 Starter with iRelay Technology include:
- Increases reliability and performance on the job site, particularly in extreme operating conditions like construction and mining
- Standard SW030 starter control relay with added electronic module provides programmable “intelligent” protection using small microprocessors
- For dual or triple starter applications found commonly on generators, mining equipment and more

tmax Pressure Compensation and Pressure Overload Valve for Lithium-Ion Battery Housings
tmax introduces the pressure compensation and pressure overload valve (PCO) for lithium-ion battery housings. This valve provides increased fire protection inside lithium-ion battery housings and controls release of flue gasses.
Per the company’s press release about the PCO, the implemented design principle ensures a very low tolerance of the individually designed burst pressure (starting at 250 mbar). The PCO valve also features a compact design and complies with the protection class IP67 and IP6k9k.
Features of the pressure compensation and pressure overload valve for lithium-ion battery housings include:
- Metallic design ensures optimal EMC shielding and enables an optional connection for routed smoke degassing via a connected duct system
- Use of a semi-permeable membrane compensates for the natural heat expansion during the charging and discharging of the battery and the air pressure fluctuations in the environments
- Parameters of the airflow and burst pressure can be easily scaled by adjusting the geometry
tmax's patented pressure compensation and pressure overload valve prevents the spread of fire inside battery housings.tmax
