The ultra-capacitor technology can work with, or replace, batteries

Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXWL), has unveiled a new line of ultra-capacitor-based energy product offerings.

The Generator Starting Solutions (GSS) product line has been designed to help start commercial and industrial stand-by and back-up generators, known as gensets in the trade.

Maxwell said it is the first company to offer dedicated ultra-capacitor-based products that provide strong successful genset starts within seconds of loss of power.

"Maxwell is taking its success with Engine Start Modules (ESM) for heavy-duty truck engines to stand-by and back-up generators in mission-critical facilities. The GSS module provides unprecedented starting reliability to industries where failure of the generator to start during loss of power can critically impact people or equipment in the building," said Franz Fink, president and also chief executive officer of Maxwell Technologies.
