Ultracapacitors

I don't see how you could "replace" the batteries with capacitors, since you would still need the long term energy storage.

Capacitors are for short high energy bursts.

Do you have a link to the website?

 

Need lots of homework! It would be for starting, and need st least 1 battery for radio etc. If did not start first time, its time to call the wrecker service. One quick blast of juice and its done.

 

You use it in place of just one of the batteries. It is used like a booster. All of Conway's new trucks have them installed in them from the factory. We just replaced one under warranty. Dang things are exspensive. $1100.00 a pop.

 

you could buy a good reduction starter and install two additional batteries for that $1100

 

Sounds about the same as adding a ramjet to the top of your cab to get you up big hills when fully loaded!!!Seriously what's the point? What does it eliminate or add to the operation of the truck?Maybe I'm just too old fashioned; or did I miss the sarcasm somewhere along the post???

 

Cowcatcher do you drive for Conway?
How well do they work?

I would like to try useing one but would like to here from someone in the real world.

It would pay for its self in a year or so if I could replace three of my four 67 pound batteries with one 27 pound battery, one ultra capacitor 27 pounds one regular battery 67 pounds equals 94 pounds net savings 174 pounds.

 

Ultracapacitors.... is that anything like the flux capacitor
