Maxwell's Ultracapacitor on sale!!!

i think the Boss Truck Shops are selling at the same rate...pretty sure. (the above web link price expires 1 Dec.)

 

These are very cool, I've never even heard of it. Anyone tried one in their truck? I'd get one for mine in a heartbeat if it's been proven.

 

There are dozens of mentions of them on this site, and pretty much exclusively satisfied customers. I'd always considered getting one, but Iowa 80 had stopped selling them by the time I had my own truck, so I mostly forgot about them.

 

Other than the cost savings of avoiding jump starts, also keep in mind they never have to be replaced, so the cost savings of not buying the 4th battery alone will cover the cost of the esm in 20 years or so if you buy batteries every other year. They're a good deal lighter, too, at 25lbs.

 

Might want to read this thread before deciding to spend the money: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...lers-/191226-maxwell-engine-start-module.html

 

I was just at the Boss shop at the flying hook in Altoona, IA picking up some fittings for my AD-9 air dryer. They had the Maxwell sitting there and I asked them what they wanted.... $990, not including install. This is there regular price. No blue light special or whatever. Probably the same as the OP link price after you factor in shipping from the online store.
