The End of Dead Battery Anxiety

Every boater knows the feeling—that moment of dread when you turn the key and nothing happens. You’re anchored in your favorite spot, miles from help, with a completely dead battery. BoatStartPlus™ eliminates that fear forever.

This isn’t another battery. It’s a supercapacitor engine starting system that works along side your existing starting or house battery, delivering instant power when you need it most—guaranteed.

Advanced Supercapacitor Technology

WHAT
IT IS

A supercapacitor energy storage system that delivers massive cranking power instantly. Unlike batteries, it stores energy in capacitor cells—not through chemical reactions that will fail.

WHAT
DOES IT
DO

Provides up to 42kW of starting power, enough to crank engines up to 7 liters. Recharges completely in 30 seconds from any 12V source. Works in any weather, any temperature.

BUILT
TO
LAST

Engineered for over 1 million start cycles—that’s 50+ years of weekend boating. Often outlasts the boat itself.

3-Year Full Warranty

Because we stand behind our technology

Real Stories from Real Boaters about our KBi System

I couldn't be more pleased with the supercapacitor and the support provided by Kold-Ban in planning and executing the installation... It started the engine three times on it own with the battery disconnected! The ability to recharge the capacitor from almost any 12 volt source, if necessary, gives me an added sense of security

Like all KBi supercapacitors, it is designed to augment and assist - rather than take the place of - a starting battery. Its boost considerably lightens the load of the existing starting battery, thereby extending its life... Unlike a battery, the KSM's service life is virtually unlimited.

.. I have switched to the KrankingKART MiniHD in all of our boats. With the 90 second recharge, we never have to worry about getting on site with a dead jump box... Logistically, it's been great for us. We can plan better, because we know we have capabilities beyond a traditional jimp box. Anything I can do to make the experience quicker for our customers is a win in my book.

KBi's KSM is simple to install, and it's designed to last forever. As simple as is purpose may be, KBi's KSM is truly amazing. I'm shocked nobody came up with this sooner, as it's only a matter of time before every boat has one.
