A new type of super-high capacity condenser (SHCC), Econd-Super, developed by Russian scientists, is the mostly efficient for starting-up carburetor and diesel internal combustion engines (ICEs) with a rated power of 10 h.p. to 3,000 h.p., railroad rolling stock, cars, freight transport, diesel power plants, ship engines as well as for agricultural, road building and municipal technique. The SHCCs are very effective if used at low temperatures and when accumulator batteries (ABs) are discharged.

The advantages of the combined ICE start-up system launching engine from both AB and SHCC are as follows:

• reliable start-up of engine
• start-up of engine at temperatures down to -45° C without AB preheating
• start-up of engine with discharged AB, or without AB at all
• possibility to use a AB with a reduced capacity
• reduction of ICE idle operation time and fuel consumption
• AB service life doubling or tripling
• long service life of the SHCC without maintenance (up to 10 years)
• a high speed charging of the SHCC from AB or aboard generator (no more than 30 s)
• SHCCs’ indigenous ecological friendliness in operation and utilization
• possibility to replace a lead-acid AB of original starter with AB of any other type
• fire and explosion safety of the SHCC.

Gosstrandart of Russia granted the SHCC a Certificate of Conformity issuing on electric and electronic devices for mechanical vehicles, tractors and trailers.
