The Hidden Risk in Your Genset

  • Most emergency generators rely on lead-acid starting batteries that can fail suddenly, often between scheduled tests, and typically need replacement every 1–3 years.
  • Voltage on lead-acid drops quickly under high cranking loads, leaving much of the theoretical capacity stranded and unable to turn the engine over when it matters most.

A New Class of Starting System

  • Modern engine starting systems built on nickel-zinc (NiZn) chemistry deliver high-rate power with minimal voltage drop, maintaining strong crank performance even at low state of charge.
  • Fully integrated systems combine NiZn batteries, a high-efficiency charger, controls, and user interface in a package as compact as a single 8D footprint, often replacing up to four 8D lead-acid batteries plus a separate charger.

Key Benefits

Reliability You Can Guarantee

NiZn starter systems are designed for mission-critical gensets, providing consistent cranking power and avoiding the unpredictable failures common with aging lead-acid banks.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Over a ten-year span, NiZn-based starting solutions can deliver more than 50% lower TCO than comparable lead-acid setups once battery replacements, labor, and maintenance visits are included.

Compact and Easy to Integrate

One 24 V high-performance starting system, built around NiZn, can start large diesel engines—up to roughly 70 L with dual starters—while occupying the footprint of a single 8D battery.

Sustainability Built In

NiZn technology contains no hazardous materials, is non-flammable, and offers dramatically lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions—up to about 96% lower than equivalent lead-acid starting solutions.

Markets

Engine Starting System (enginestartingsystem.com) targets critical infrastructure sectors requiring reliable engine startup solutions for backup power. These include data centers, hospitals, backup generators, and marine applications. Such markets prioritize uninterrupted power to prevent data loss, equipment failure, or operational downtime.

Key Markets

Data centers demand robust backup systems due to high reliance on cloud computing and AI, with the market projected to grow significantly through 2033. Hospitals require rapid-response generators to maintain life-support systems during outages. Backup generators serve broad industrial uses, while marine applications focus on harsh-environment starting solutions.

Market Trends

Growth in these sectors is driven by regulatory needs for uptime, technological advances in efficient starters, and vulnerabilities like grid failures. Companies like Engine Starting Solutions emphasize marine, power generation, and oil/gas with optimized starting equipment. Diesel and redundant systems dominate for reliability in data centers and healthcare.
