Supercapacitor Technology
ZTR KickStart™ uses supercapacitor technology to supplement the locomotive batteries during the engine start, reducing strain on the batteries. The result is, less energy drain from the batteries, longer battery life, faster cranking speed, less time to recharge the batteries, improved cold weather starts, and ultimately, increased locomotive availability.
