Santa Barbara, California — May 22, 2025 — Global Power Supply, a leading provider of backup and prime power solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of the SENS SuperTorque 8Z Genset Starting System to its product lineup. This innovative solution addresses one of the most persistent issues with emergency generators: starting battery failure.
Traditional lead-acid starting batteries often fail suddenly and without warning, sometimes rupturing or leaking dangerously, which creates reliability and safety concerns for mission-critical systems. The SuperTorque 8Z solves this with a powerful, safe nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery system designed to deliver unmatched performance, safety, and sustainability.
“The SuperTorque 8Z is a significant advancement in generator starting systems,” said John Kleba, Chief Commercial Officer at Global Power Supply. “It eliminates the common failures associated with lead-acid batteries while delivering greater power density, a smaller footprint, and long-term savings for our customers.”
Key Benefits of the SuperTorque 8Z Genset Starting System:
- No Sudden Failure: NiZn chemistry eliminates the unpredictable failures of lead-acid batteries.
- Compact Power: Replaces up to four 8D lead-acid batteries and a premium charger within the footprint of a single 8D.
- Sustainable Design: No lithium or hazardous materials; air-shippable and 96% lower lifetime GHG emissions.
- 10-Year Full Warranty: No maintenance or replacements required for a decade.
- Lowest TCO: More than 50% lower total cost of ownership over ten years compared to lead-acid systems.
The system includes an integrated charger, control interface, and advanced communication capabilities such as SENSBUS, USB-C, and MODBUS. It is IBC Seismic Certified, making it suitable for high-demand environments such as healthcare, data centers, and government facilities.
Global Power Supply will offer the SuperTorque 8Z as an optional upgrade across compatible generator models and as a retrofit solution for existing systems.
