Power for the moment.
Supercapacitors are at the heart of the starting-power concept, with a focus on brief, demanding engine-starting loads.
Starting systems, rethought.
A different
kind of start.
Supercapacitor power. LTO energy reserve.
A new approach to the demands of engine starting.

PulseStart N704WD & truck · Proposed finish01 / 03
Engineered around a better starting experience.Australian development programme
01 / The idea behind PulseStart
Two technologies.
One starting ambition.
Starting an engine calls for a short burst of power. Keeping energy in reserve is a different job. PulseStart brings supercapacitors and lithium titanate cells together to explore both.
Energy held in reserve.
Lithium titanate — LTO — cells provide the energy-storage side of the hybrid approach. Reserve and recovery are central to the development brief.
The whole system matters.
Packaging, connections, voltage-aware isolation and service access are being developed together, then assessed as a complete system.
The aim is a more resilient starting system. Performance, service life and application suitability remain to be established through testing.
02 / Look beneath the surface
A fresh perspective.
From the inside out.

The supercapacitor bankBuilt around
Built around
the starting moment.
The hybrid concept pairs a supercapacitor bank with a separate LTO cell bank. The development focus is how those complementary roles can support engine starting in a practical package.
Complete-system current delivery, repeated-start behaviour and charging compatibility still require validation.
Lithium titanate energy storageThink beyond
Think beyond
the first start.
The LTO bank brings stored energy to the hybrid system. Reserve capacity, recovery after starting and the demands of parked vehicles are part of the development work.
Pack-level usable capacity, standby duration and service life have not yet been established.
Packaging with purposeDetails that
Meet the battery concepts Details that
deserve attention.
A removable front cover, internal cell carrier and evolving terminal layout are being refined around assembly and access. Current concepts also explore a gasketed cover and continuous top rain lip.
These are design features under review. Physical fit, retention and weather sealing remain subject to testing.
CAD-derived concept illustrations with updated terminal appearance. Branding and finishes are proposed; final appearance is subject to change.
03 / The hybrid battery concepts
Different work.
The same drive.
From vehicles heading off the beaten track to machinery with a job to finish. Two development formats, each shaped by its intended application.
01 / 4WD & truckConcept R44
PulseStart N70
A compact format.
A bigger starting ambition.
A hybrid starter-battery concept for 4WDs and suitable truck applications. Developed around the realities of vehicle packaging, energy reserve and access to the components inside.

N70 and Group 8 are development format names, not confirmed fitment or standards compliance. Current battery work is 12 V-oriented; vehicle compatibility, 24 V suitability and final ratings remain to be established.
03 / Standalone concept
Voltage-aware battery isolationN5 · Proposed finish
The standalone battery protector
Put isolation
in the picture.
A separate development path for the battery you already use.
The VELEC battery protector combines voltage monitoring with a motor-actuated mechanical disconnect. Its development goal is to respond to abnormal voltage and reduce prolonged battery depletion, with low standby demand.
Voltage-awareAutomatic isolation is the development focus.Mechanically actuatedA motor operates the battery disconnect.Designed for accessA removable cover carries the controller.
Explore a protector application Protection behaviour, current ratings, weather sealing and compatibility remain under development. It is not yet a qualified replacement for an existing battery switch.

A few useful answers
Before
the next step.
Can I buy one today?
PulseStart and the standalone protector are development concepts, not products currently offered for sale. Pricing and availability have not been set. An expression of interest is not a preorder or reservation.
Will it fit my vehicle or equipment?
The format names and concept dimensions help describe the design work; they do not confirm fitment. Mounting, terminal arrangements, charging systems, engine demand and operating conditions require application-specific assessment.
What performance has been established?
The work currently focuses on packaging, component fit and subsystem development. No complete-system starting-current, CCA, service-life, weather-sealing or reliability rating is claimed. Integrated testing will establish what can be specified.
How does the protector relate to the hybrid battery?
Voltage-aware isolation is being explored as a standalone product and as part of the wider hybrid programme. The scope of protection depends on how it is connected and controlled; isolation of one branch does not mean every component is disconnected or protected.
