3.2 KAPower Basic Description
The KAPower module is an energy storage device. KAPower is a high-power device with low
energy density. The cranking or discharge periods will be short, but powerful (typically less
than 30 seconds), with the time to full recharge rated in tens of seconds. Recharging can be
accomplished from virtually any 12-volt or 24-volt DC electrical power source. Cycling, charge,
and discharge events will not wear out the device. The Cycle Duty is rated in hundreds of
thousands of cycles, approaching one million cycles.
3.3 The KAPower Module
The KAPower module, which is housed within the MKSM enclosure, represents an internal
bank of 6, 10, or 12 capacitor cells series-connected to each other.
3.4 Electrochemical Double-Layer Capacitor (EDLC)
An Electrochemical Double-Layer Capacitor represents a device capable of storing and
delivering electric power. This is due mainly to the existing capacitance of the double electric
layer, which is formed by the capacitor's electrodes being in contact with electrolyte. The
capacitor consists of negative and positive electrodes with terminals, separator, electrolyte,
and a shell.
4.0 INSTALLATION
Visually inspect the external case prior to mounting the module. Make sure that no traces of
physical damage are present on the external case of the KAPower MKSM module.
Before installation, review the KAPower MKSM module specifications. Ensure that the proper
device for the specific application is being used. (See Table 1.)
