SuperTorque replaces traditional lead-acid engine-starting with a compact system with high performance batteries and an integrated charger. Engineered for dependable genset starts without the maintenance burden, large footprint, and replacement cycles legacy systems demand.
Solves the #1 problem with emergency generators: starting battery failure.
Compact
Up to 90% smaller footprint than lead-acid. One SuperTorque module replaces four 8D lead-acid starting batteries.
Optimized
One part number, fully integrated and pre-tested. No need for regular replacement or periodic watering.
Efficient
Maintenance-free and 50% cost savings over 10 years with a 10-year warranty.
The SuperTorque Family
Advanced engine-start options built around the application
SuperTorque 8Z
High-power nickel-zinc engine starting
A maintenance-free nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery plus integrated charger system for mission-critical gensets. The 8Z replaces the traditional lead-acid starting approach with a compact system built for long service life and reliable high-power cranking.
12V or 24V DC
Embedded MicroGenius® 2 charger
2,700 amps at breakaway while maintaining battery terminal voltage above 12.0 volts
Specify the engine DC package once—not as a collection of loose parts. Charging, disconnects, racking, and optional redundancy components are included into the prewired, preassembled system.
The SuperTorque platform is designed to address the recurring replacement, maintenance, large footprint, and system complexity associated with traditional lead-acid starting architectures.
Yes. The SuperTorque platform is maintenance-free and does not require routine electrolyte watering or the frequent replacement cycle associated with traditional lead-acid starting batteries.
Yes. 8R configurations can include isolated battery banks along with optional Best Battery Selector (BBS) and BCS-120 components to support engine-start and control-power redundancy strategies.
