ZTR Control Systems' KickStart uses supercapacitor technology to augment the power required to start the locomotive engine, minimizing the drop in battery voltage during start. It has been redesigned with functional improvements that reduce this drop even more, so that electronics stay on and the strain on the batteries is diminished. The new hardware design is lighter and more compact for easier installation and no regular maintenance after install.New benefits include increased locomotive availability, extended locomotive battery life, reduced battery charge time, minimized battery voltage drop, easy installation and no maintenance, reliable cold weather performance and intuitive diagnostics, according to the company."Weighing only 45lbs, KickStart is easy to carry onto the locomotive and can be installed in several locations including the battery compartment, under the floor, or in the short hood," said Amarjit Soora, manager of engineering for ZTR Control System's railway business unit. "It also has demonstrated a dramatic increase in locomotive starting reliability, even in extreme cold."
