Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

The body is fairly large compared to my old Li-ion battery pack.

The white paper is A4 size.

Despite the body size, it's very light and can be handled easily.









The specification sheet on the box and the spec label on the actual unit.

Huge peak current of 800A and temperature spec of -40degC upto 70degC which is the advantage over the Li-ion battery pack.







The usual marketing method of visually showing off the benefits of the product.

It states that it can survive at least 10 years although I would reserve my view on this based on the ultracap being used for emergency power supply in Japan for earthquake hit area.








The terminals - From Left to Right;

The jump start button
Once charged and ready, hit this switch and it will start the 10sec count down tone.

This will allow you to get inside the car and prepare for the jump starting process.

Once 10sec times up, the tone will turn into continuous warning beep that the discharge sequence started.

If you had enough battery power left, you could disarm the immobiliser during the 10sec countdown period but if not,
the continuous beep is when you disarm the immobiliser and start cranking the engine.

Remember, as soon as the ultracap starts discharging, the voltage also starts dropping proportionally to the current consumption because
not only the energy is being used for cranking the engine but also it will be consumed for charging your flat car battery.


The micro-USB input port
Rated at 5V/2A

Input only so can't be used for charging other devices.

You can use mobile battery, another jump starter pack, etc as the charging power source.

Can take upto 30min using this charging method depending on the initial status.


The DC input port (cigarette lighter socket)
Rated at 6.5A.

Input only so can't be used for charging other devices.

Becomes handy if you have access to another car on site or while on the way for rescue call out.

Will charge up the ultracap within a few minutes if the battery on donor car is healthy or with the donor car engine running.


The battery clamp input/output port
Will be used for charging the ultracap by sucking up the remaining juice from your flat battery or from another healthy battery, etc.

The charging time depends on the state of your flat battery and again, if drained too far,
it may not be enough to charge up the ultracap that it may trigger the Low battery warning and not being able to jump start the car.

With healthy battery, you can charge this ultracap in less than a few minutes.

And of course, acting as the output port for the jump start purpose.
