The electric car revolution has brought about new developments in the way electricity can be stored.
Supercapacitors recharge extremely quickly and have a very long service life; they can be run down and recharged over a million times – the lifespan of traditional batteries is 400 to 2000 cycles.
Practical
The new supercapacitor jump starter from M7 is always ready to go as it automatically recharges as soon as the vehicle has started.
The STC1800 does not contain a battery. This means that not only is the recharge time in between starts virtually inexistent (reduced to just a few seconds), problems related to low temperatures are also a thing of the past – the STC1800 is always ready for use and does not spend hours recharging in the workshop.
Instant and safe recharging
If the jump starter has no charge, the breakdown technician just has to connect the starter to his truck, and the starter will recharge in a matter of seconds. The STC1800 can start a wide range of 12V vehicles, with a starting current of 1800A going up to a peak start of 9000A.
The STC1800 contains an internal fuse to protect against surges. This fuse is on the front of the starter for easy access.
Features
The voltmeter is shown on a backlit LCD screen for use at night. The STC1800 is equipped with a reverse polarity alarm.
Not having a battery means that the STC1800 is much lighter than conventional jump starters. It weighs less than 10 kilos (the traditional battery jump starter from M7 weighs 11.5 kilos).
The starter cables are made from super-supple multi-strand copper. At 160cm long, the cables allow the starter to be used when on the ground.
