Projecta expands its range of Intelli

Jun 09, 2023

Projecta has expanded its Intelli-Start range by introducing two new jump starters, the IS1400 and IS2000, with patented Rapid Recharge Technology (RRT).

RRT boosts efficiency and convenience for users and owners as - once the vehicle has been started - the Intelli-Start jump starter can fully replenish the energy that was discharged during the starting process in just 40 seconds. Simply keep the clamps connected to the running vehicle's battery and the Intelli-Start jump starter is ready for the next emergency.

This technology means Intelli-Start jump starters can be used time and time again before needing to be recharged, making the product perfect for applications such as roadside assistance or vehicle-holding depots and car yards.

When recharging is finally needed, this can be done back at the workshop, garage or home using the supplied 5V USB charger. A further benefit of the latest models is their ability to jump-start vehicles and machines that use a variety of battery types including Lithium, Wet, AGM, Gel and Calcium.

The IS1400 is suitable for 12V electrical systems and offers 500A clamp power and 1400 peak amps, more than enough to start petrol-powered vehicles up to 7.0L displacement and diesel engines as large as 5.0L.

These capabilities along with a compact design make the IS1400 an ideal choice to carry in the glove box for stowage with 4x4 recovery gear, or to keep on hand at workshops or car yards.

The larger-yet-still-compact IS2000 model provides even further versatility, with its auto-sensing clamp connections making it convenient for use on both 12V and 24V electrical systems.

The IS2000 will jump-start 12V petrol vehicles with engines up to 8.0L, and up to 6.0L for diesels. It can also jump-start petrol and diesel 24V vehicles with engines up to 7.0L. This level of performance makes it suitable for passenger vehicles, small trucks, agricultural equipment and mid-sized earthmoving machines.

Additionally, the IS2000's integrated, ergonomic handle allows for easy portability, making it an ideal alternative to cumbersome lead-acid jump starters that are normally moved around on a trolley.

Common to both units are premium spark-free clamps; no solder, high current connections for added longevity and performance; intuitive LCD display with real-time updates; in-built LED work light; EVA storage case; USB charging port; and the ability to be used as a power bank. The IS2000 also features a ‘set and forget’ docking station for hassle-free benchtop charging.

The Intelli-Start range is equipped with premium LiFePO4 batteries and provides more starts with up to 2000 battery cycles. This range delivers a substantially longer operating life and provides a smooth and reliable start, time after time.

Added durability comes from the range's rubber-moulded impact and drop-resistant housing and IP-rated dust and water ingress protection. They also now come with an extended five-year warranty.

Along with revolutionary battery technology, the IS1400 and IS2000 utilise an advanced all-in-one protection system that prevents surges, short circuits and overheating. For novice users, a further benefit is that the premium clamps won't spark if attached incorrectly and won't damage the vehicle or injure loved ones or employees.

The display will also alert the user of an incorrect connection and advise when they’re ready to use, making these jump starters not only the safest on the market but one of the easiest to use.
