Maxwell’s ESM is an ultracapacitor-based source of power dedicated to starting diesel truck engines. Ultracapacitors store energy electrically rather than chemically like a traditional battery. Ultracapacitors can charge and discharge in fractions of a second and perform well in extreme temperatures. The ESMs range in capacity from one to 3,400 farads and come in multi-cell modules from 12-60 volts.
“The Purkey’s team has been addressing the electrical needs of heavy-duty fleets for 20 years and they have the experience to support sales, service and applications across the industry,” said Franz Fink, president and CEO of Maxwell.
Purkeys is an electirical system ditributor for heavy-duty fleets. It builds custom electrical solutions for fleets and provides customer service to anticipate and address electrical system problems as well as comply with new regulations.
