Abstract:

A Capacitor based Automobile Battery with backup LiFePo charging system and charging circuit is disclosed. This invention improves on existing energy start modules (ESM) in that it is designed as a full standalone replacement unit. This invention has a built in LiFePo battery, with charging circuit, that keeps capacitors charged at all times. The invention uses a novel design of activated carbon or graphene capacitors. There are no heavy lead plates or high levels of toxic acid that is used in AGM (absorbent glass mat}/Lead acid batteries. The invention is lightweight compared with standard lead or lithium cell automobile batteries. This invention holds energy longer than ESM's. The LiFePo battery is safer than standard LiFePo batteries.
