ULTRACAPACITORS ENGINE START MODULE Engine start reliability in extreme temperatures with a smart power module from Maxwell* You live in your truck, you work in your truck, but your batteries don’t always start your truck. In cold or freezing weather, after a night of running hotel loads on batteries or sitting in line at a weigh station with anti-idle laws, your batteries frequently do not have the power needed to start your engine. Don’t leave starting to batteries. The Engine Start Module from Maxwell Technologies will provide the power to start your truck consistently, for the life of your truck. Replace a battery or add the module to a Class 6-8 truck for reliable starting from -40°C to +60°C / -40°F to 140°F * Engine start reliability Green technology Low total cost of ownership Anti-idle laws solution Easy to install Cold weather reliability down to -40oF Maxwell Technologies Engine Start Module ** Limited warranty; additional terms and conditions may apply at the time of purchase.
