PMM takes a closer look at the new starter charger from GYS: The Startflash 120.24.
Technological advances
As technology in vehicles advances, so must the maintenance tools used by technicians in workshops. Battery chargers are just one example of vehicle maintenance equipment that has had to adapt to continue to meet vehicle manufacturers’ constantly changing technological specifications.
More compact
Startflash is a starter-charger which uses advanced inverter technology, offering enhanced practicality and performance advantages. Much smaller and lighter than counterparts, it remains powerful and allows many other functions to be incorporated. Easy to use, the starter charger has a new intuitive user interface that is simple to set up and provides quick and smooth navigation.
Battery support
The GYS Startflash 120.24 is able to provide a stabilised power supply up to 120 A on vehicles during diagnostics. It also offers what the company descibes as the latest in connected technology. Startflash therefore is equipped with advanced connectivity with both USB and SMC connections, allowing it to be connected to a printer, keyboard or scanner. Full records of the charge can be recorded, exported and printed. It can also be customised with a simple- to-use on-line configurator.
Safe charging
As a powerful and advanced battery charger, it can be used to safely charge all battery types: lead-acid, lithium and AGM-EFB. Another advantage of the inverter technology is that it is energy- efficient. It is equipped with multiple safeguards, offering high levels of safety for technicians working on the latest vehicles, with protection against short-circuits, reverse polarity and overloads. It also has an anti-spark system and temperature sensors to prevent overheating.
