Military Ground Vehicle Ground Power Unit

ENHANCING MISSION SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY
In the challenging terrain of military operations, the StartStick emerges as a groundbreaking solution, replacing the cumbersome and outdated jumper cables (military part number 10502786), universally known as slave cables. These traditional cables often fail, are hard to locate in convoys, and require the involvement of two vehicles. Enter StartStick—a revolutionary ground power unit designed specifically for military ground applications. Say goodbye to the complexities of slave cables and embrace a new era of efficiency, safety, and autonomy.
Strategically Addressing Real Military Operational Challenges

Choosing StartStick for military ground applications is a strategic decision, addressing crucial challenges faced by military personnel. The streamlined jump-start process not only reduces soldiers’ exposure outside the vehicle, significantly enhancing operational safety but also eliminates the need for a second vehicle and multiple personnel while slave starting a disabled vehicle. This allows a focused approach on operational security and efficiency, particularly in conflict zones, where the incidence of casualties from small arms fire ranks as the second most common safety hazard.

StartStick contributes to enhanced efficiency at military depots by removing the need for heavy battery carts. With a fully serviceable battery pack offering an impressive 3,000 to 4,000 starts before overhaul, StartStick ensures an extended battery life, providing a reliable and durable solution for military ground applications, outperforming lead-acid batteries.

Improved Mission Safety and Operational Security
Streamlined Depot Efficiency
Elimination of Slave Cables
Battle Tested

Trusted by US military special operations aviation, US Air Force and forces globally, StartStick has powered the M134D weapon system for over a decade and is the preferred GPU in the aerospace and defense industry with 2,500+ units deployed globally.

Installed with optional relocation kit.

Product Details

Designed for versatility, StartStick is compatible with any military ground vehicle, including HUMVEE, MRAP, A1A tank, and bulldozers. Additionally StartStick offers tailored kits for specific needs.

  • MRAP NATO Relo Kit: Adds a second NATO DC Receptacle for access from inside the vehicle.
  • HUMVEE Relo Kit: Relocates the NATO DC Receptacle, allowing access from inside the vehicle.
  • HUMVEE M134d Turret Mount Kit: Specifically designed for HUMVEE turrets to power the M134D weapon system.

High Power Design: The StartStick’s cableless design, combined with highly conductive interconnects and a patent-pending power electronics design, enables it to deliver over 30% more power than other lithium batteries. This innovative approach allows the StartStick’s compact form factor to achieve a higher power output than significantly larger and heavier lithium batteries.

Integrated Auto-Charger: StartStick’s smart battery management system includes redundant temperature sensing and an integrated smart charger that continuously monitors over twenty-five different parameters to determine if it is safe to charge. This also allows the StartStick to charge on-board, automatically sensing when a generator/alternator is running before charging starts.

Auto-Shut Off: The StartStick actively monitors itself and will shut down if it exceeds a specified level of time without being used or charged, ensuring peace of mind.

Smart is Safe: At the heart of the StartStick is an electronic battery management system unlike any other. Running over 12K lines of code, its fully integrated charger, battery monitor, data logger, display, and high-speed controller sense and control all aspects of the battery chemistry and external environment to keep the battery safe in all conditions, contributing to our perfect safety record.

Designed to Last: With internal components, a hardened case, and software designed to deliver 10 years of service or 3k-5k engine starts, StartStick ensures longevity. Its software notifies users if they exceed any design limit, optimizing performance over its lifetime. If an issue arises, all components are fully serviceable and can be overhauled by the factory or one of our certified repair centers.
