EnerSys introduces its new line of Odyssey Battery portable chargers. With automatic six-stage charging, the chargers facilitate full and proper charging. Charger safety features include spark-free connections as well as built-in over-voltage, overload, over-temperature, reverse polarity and ignition protection. The all-digital power-charging platform is packaged in a rugged housing of extruded aluminum, providing weatherproof protection. A user-friendly interface with an innovative LED battery-charge monitor provides users with a relative charge level status at a glance during operation.
Blue Sea Systems bus bars now available at Del City. These engineered products are designed, tested, and built to meet the stringent requirements of the boating, emergency and commercial vehicle industries. Single power inputs can be re-distributed across the entire bar so that multiple output connections can be added. Select from a variety of single- and dual-bus bars, ranging from 100A to 1,000A. Battery terminal-mount bus bars (both positive and negative) can be easily added to a threaded-post battery terminal.
The new RXT 1200 elevates the holding power of the patented McLeod twin-disc clutch lineup to 1,200 hp. The McLeod RXT 1200 twin disc was designed with increased diaphragm pressure to hold up to 1,200 hp while still keeping the pedal feel like stock. With twin ceramic discs, the engagement is smooth, and the strapped floater makes for a quiet, rattle-free clutch. Combine those features with ease of installation, and McLeod says that it’s a great clutch for any skill level of driver or street enthusiast.
The Norma Group’s Torca Brand has developed a simple-to-use kit that allows technicians and automotive enthusiasts to easily route exhaust pipes to accommodate engine, chassis and exterior body panel changes. The Torca aftermarket kit comes with two 8-in. pipes and one SEC band clamp. The innovative joint is created by providing one 8-in. pipe with a unique stepped ball end and a second 8-in. pipe with a mating flare. Together, they form a spherical connection that is secured by the patented SEC band clamp. This joint technology allows a range of adjustment up to three degrees in any direction, while maintaining seal integrity and joint strength.
Covercraft presents new SeatHeater kits. Unlike many other seat-heating systems, each SeatHeater kit includes four heating elements for both the seat base and seat back (both driver and passenger seats) for toasty, full-body comfort during cold weather. The wiring harness simply plugs into the vehicle accessory power outlet. Each kit also includes a dual switch for individual heat control. The self-regulating heating elements are made in the U.S.A. with patented heating technology that provides uniform warmth and prevents overheating.
Classic Instruments releases its all-new fuel link. Inspired by Classic Instruments’ Zeus Speedometer technology, this device corrects fuel-ohm-range mismatch and erratic pointer movement due to fuel slosh. There is no need to remove the fuel tank, sending unit or gauge to make a mismatched set work correctly. The unit installs inline between the fuel gauge and fuel sender to correct the mismatch. The link includes pushbutton programmability and LED readout for quick setup, signal dampening for a steady fuel pointer and easy electrical connectivity with labeled wire terminals.
Amp Research releases a new BedStep2 application to fit the ’15–’16 Ford F-150. The BedStep2 is a deployable side-mounted bed access step that mounts behind the vehicle’s cab, allowing easy access to bed-mounted toolboxes, fifth-wheel hitches and cargo. The BedStep2 can be installed on either side of a pickup and easily mounts to the vehicle’s underside. Made with high-strength aluminum-alloy components and precision stainless-steel pivot pins, the BedStep2 is designed for rock-solid stability and durability.
Restomod Air has released its climate-control app, Atmosphere. The app works with iPad, iPad Mini, iPod Touch and iPhone to wirelessly control vehicle A/C systems. The look and feel of the controls is customizable by the user, who can pick from the color wheel for a perfect match of the vehicle’s interior. With the Atmosphere app, users can have two preset settings for their rides, eliminating the need to set up or dial in the desired temperature.
DJ Products introduces a tug specifically for pushing cars, trucks, buses, campers or anything on wheels. Called the CarCaddy, this unit is designed for automotive, bus and truck repair centers, dealers, manufacturers and government highway service organizations. Features unique to the CarCaddy over competing products of its kind are its weight, size and strength. Although it is small and compact, it weighs nearly 750 lbs. The CarCaddy’s weight advantage allows it to easily move most vehicles from a parking spot without relying on transferred weight from the cars’ bumpers to gain its traction.
