START
MODULE
A POWERFUL STARTING MODULE SUITABLE FOR LARGE ENGINES UP TO 27L. RELIABLE UNDER ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS.
THE CHARGE
THAT NEVER
LET’S YOU
DOWN
The SkelStart Engine Start Module is the most dynamic module for engine starting applications currently available in the world. Its design is based on Skeleton Technologies’ industry-leading SkelCap supercapacitors, which have the highest power density presently offered on the market.
SkelStart not only eases the demanding job of starting the engine but also protects the battery and increases its lifespan. SkelStart’s effective operating temperature range is from -40°C to +65°C, which makes it perfectly suited for bus, truck, rail and heavy-duty equipment applications.
NO CONDITIONS TOO EXTREME
There are no weather conditions too extreme on our planet that this robust module for reliable engine starting will not start under. The SkelStart Engine Module is the most powerful module for engines up to 27L in the world and the benefits of our technology justify the investment.

MAIN FEATURES
Battery lifespan increase
-
Much higher peak power than batteries can provide
-
Temperature won’t affect starting power
-
Starting power even with “dead” batteries – If SkelStart’s energy is used, it needs min 9V and max 16 min to be charged from empty to full
-
More energy stored by the end of the work day
-
Battery lifespan will be increased 1,5 – 2x
Fuel consumption decrease
-
There is no need to idle the engine to charge the battery
-
Fuel consumption decreases when the engine is idling from 6% to 2% = 400L/year.
Environmentally friendly
-
Non-hazardous material (no lead, no acid)
-
Reduced fuel costs and CO2 emissions
No hassle – one time investment
-
Lifespan 1M cycles, no maintenance needed
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Supercapacitors have been around since the 1960’s, but it’s only been in recent years that their potential has become better utilized. They are one of the most efficient energy storage devices available commercially. Ultracapacitor modules are a new type of energy storage device with excellent performance, high application values and incredible commercial potential.
TRUCKING
SkelStart delivers a higher cranking power than batteries and does it effectively even at -40°C. Upgrade to SkelStart, and stop worrying about if you are going to be able to deliver on time or not.
BUS
Most batteries are unreliable at engine starting time, especially at low temperatures. SkelStart provides increased starting power output compared to a battery, even at temperatures of -40°C. Ideal for engine starting and start-stop applications.
GENERATORS
Batteries will lose their charge over time and use. SkelStart will provide the highest cranking current to your gensets – in any weather condition.
HEAVY MACHINERY
Every minute counts when you’re working with heavy machinery and with a SkelStart installed, you can be sure there is no downtime because of batteries or starting issues.
MARITIME
Do you trust that your batteries will start the engine when it really matters? SkelStart can save your time, money, stress, and even your life by making sure you can find the charge to always get home.
THE MODULE PARAMETERS
