Genset Engine Starting

Integrated systems, chargers, and redundancy solutions for generator starting and control power

 

Eliminate the #1 Cause of Generator Failure

When utility power fails, your generator must start immediately. Yet the most common reason generators fail to start is a weak or dead starting battery. SENS designs and manufactures engine starting systems that improve reliability, reduce maintenance, and simplify installation for mission-critical power applications.

Factory-Integrated
Engine Starting

Traditional generator starting systems use complex multi-vendor components that increase installation difficulty, variability, and failure risk. SENS replaces this approach with integrated,
pre-engineered DC power systems like the SuperTorque® 8R, combining batteries, charging, protection, and disconnects into one reliable solution.

  • Absolute reliability:  Engineered systems with built-in redundancy minimize failure points and deliver consistent starting performance in critical conditions. 

  • All-in-one systems: Preconfigured, factory-built systems simplify procurement, engineering and accelerate installation for OEMs, integrators, and facility operators. 

Customer Testimonials

 “The 8Z battery chemistry is much more power dense than traditional lead acid. It’s eye opening that you can get that many cranking amps from such a small footprint”

- Brent Beissler, Engineering Manager at Girtz Industries, Read the full case study

"We purchased and installed the SuperTorque® 8Z approximately 14 months ago, and so far, it has been performing perfectly. During every test and power interruption, the battery has started the generator without hesitation. We are very impressed with its performance to date."

- Electrical Supervisor in Higher Education Facilities Management
