Don’t rely on lead-acid batteries to start your engines.

October 2019 Rev C

Batteries will fail. Their end-of-life is inevitable .

Dead batteries are a simple fact of life when it comes to vessel operation and ownership. Long periods of disuse, temperature extremes, corrosion, shock and vibration all take their toll on your engine’s cranking battery. Unlike a car, jump starting a boat isn’t easy, it usually requires especially long and heavy jumper cables, finding and hooking up a battery charger or removing the battery and taking it someplace where it can be charged and the danger of jump starting batteries, with the potential for an explosion, is well documented.

KAPower is not a battery. KAPower is a Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitor.

With KBI’s range of specialized engine starting products, however, that equation has changed forever. Unlike lead acid batteries, KBI products rely on supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors. Using either the permanently installed KAPower Starting Module (KSM), or the portable KrankingKART Mini HD, it is now possible to have onboard, reliable, back-up starting power, in reserve, that’s always there when needed.

The KSM provides the engine starting power every time the engine is started, sparing the vessel’s battery.

So what does this mean to the boat or the boat builder?

u The KSM Supercapacitor module is powerful enough to supply cranking power without the use of lead-acid batteries. u Available as a 12 or 24-volt module, one module can provide 24 volts - no need to series modules (batteries). u One module is all that’s need to start several engines - eliminate multiple battery banks. u The KSM can be left “on-line” while the vessel is in operation, buffering electrical brownouts. u It is truly maintenance free and will last the life of the vessel. u No gassing, no ventilation required. Can be installed in virtually any orientation. u It can be installed in remote locations, not needing access for change-out like the batteries do. u It will provide weight savings and space savings. u When isolated it will retain sufficient charge for engine cranking for extended periods of time. u It can be recharged almost instantaneously (within seconds) if need be off the house batteries or any other DC power source.

Inboard or outboard applications, not every engine would require its own set of batteries for engine starting events.

One KSM could provide starting assistance to several engines.

“Once installed it’s like having an emergency battery permanently on standby without any of the maintenance an actual battery requires.”

Installation for the KSM is straightforward, its stainless steel enclosure is lightweight, the heaviest model, which supplies 112 kW, weighs only 32.5 pounds (14.7 kg); it can be mounted in any orientation, even upside down.

KSM specifications for every application.

The KSM is available in 12 and 24 volts, and several capacity ranges. All units recharge after use in a scant 30 seconds.

Some background on KBI:

While KSM is a relative newcomer to the marine market, we’ve been in the engine starting business for over half a century, selling primarily to some of the harshest applications in the world, including commercial, military and over the road transport vehicles.

KBI has thousands of systems installed on US City Transit Buses.

The KBI KSM factory installed.

Virtually every North American bus builder offers it’s customers the KBI KSM system as factory installed.

Virtually all major US Cities have KBI system on their buses.

Over twenty years experience with supercapacitors for starting engines.

We are working with marine OEMs, Mercury Marine in particular on a “standard” for boat builders.

Many are interested. Again we’re new to the industry but the KSM and our experience is not new. We have been applying supercapacitor engine starting technology for over twenty years. We are American Boat and Yacht Council members and KBI has an ABYC Certified Technician on staff.

The portable KrankingKART Mini HD, also uses supercapacitor technology.
