Lithium Powerbloc rechargeable starter battery
The Lithium Powerbloc is lower in weight and smaller in volume than other systems, with an enhanced lifecycle of up to ten years, faster charging (within 15 to 45 minutes), high intrinsic safety and very low self-discharge.
Its applications include:
- Motorcycles
- ATVs and quads
- Enduros
- Golf carts
- Microlight flying
- Racing karts
Features:
- Fast charging in ~15 minutes
- Very low cut-off voltage 8V
- Very high pulse discharge current
- Very high maximum charge current
- Operating temperature range: -30°C to +85°C
- Storage temperature range: -40°C to +100C
Turbine generators
RIPEnergy’s 380VAC, 8,000W and 24/28 VDC, 300A turbine generators provide ultra-compact mobile power supply. The systems have a high-power density and are lightweight and low maintenance. The generators feature:
- Automatic ECU START/STOP system
- Fuel: diesel, petroleum, kerosene (Jet A)
- Consumption: 10l (2.5gal) per hour
- Equipped with air intake silencer and high current batteries (add on exhaust muffler optional)
- Total unit weight: 28kg, with optional muffler 33kg (380VAC, 8,000W); 20kg, with optional muffler 25kg (24/28 VDC, 300A)
