Tool and equipment supplier Sealey is giving customers the chance to win one of its new Electrostart Power Starters. This is the latest new edition to the extensive Sealey range of battery starters.

The company says the Electrostart is very different to any standard battery operated Jump Starter currently on the market whether it be a conventional lead acid battery or a Lithium battery type. Thanks to innovative technology, the E/START800 requires just 5 volts to jump start a vehicle. The main difference is that unlike a conventional booster, it has no internal battery, as it uses Ultracapacitors and patented electronics to maximise the discharged battery’s voltage.

This lightweight and compact unit only weighs 1.5kg compared to conventional Jump Packs which weigh 10kg or more, and is small enough to fit inside a glove box. A unique feature of the unit is that it requires no maintenance. Lead acid or lithium batteries have a shorter life expectancy than Ultracapacitors and require regular charging to ensure they are ready for use. This is not required with the Electrostart.

The unit works by simply connecting it to the vehicle’s discharged battery, the unit will then display the battery’s existing voltage, it then drawers power from it and energises itself fully within two minutes. The clever device pushes full power safely back through the starting system, jump starting the vehicle. It also incorporates a ‘glow’ feature, making it suitable for starting diesel vehicles in cold weather.
