Device for starting motor vehicle internal combustion engine has control unit for monitoring state of battery charge, causing charging of capacitor unit by accumulator battery in event that capacitor unit falls below defined minimum charge

摘要

The device has an electric motor for driving the internal combustion engine during starting, a first energy storage unit in the form of a capacitor unit for supplying the motor during starting and a second energy storage unit in the form of an accumulator battery. It has a control unit for monitoring the battery's state of charge and causing charging of the capacitor unit by the accumulator battery in the event that the capacitor unit falls below a defined minimum charge.
