 SAFE STARTING SYSTEM

“Safe Starting System™” is a battery and alternator monitor ideal for checking battery and alternator efficiency.

Thanks to the Safe Starting System™ alarms you can now avoid starting up your vehicle with insufficient battery voltage.

This system consists of a transmitter connected to the battery (MIDAC Safe Starting System™ batteries are supplied with the transmitter) and a small receiver unit which emits audible and visual alarms.

Depending on the type of problem and state-of-charge of the battery, there are a number of different alarms.
Fault information is stored and alarms are repeated every 10 min, even with the receiver out of range, until the alarms are reset.

The alternator alarm turns off automatically if the fault is caused by a temporary condition (for example connecting an external charge to the cigarette lighter causing excessive power absorption).

If there are no alarm signals after the receiver has received signals from the transmitter, this indicates the receiver is out of range and no fault data has been stored by the system

 MIDAC AT MINARDI TEST SESSION AT MISANO CIRCUIT

On 4th of February a private test session has been held at Santa Monica circuit in Misano Adriatico. Technical and Marketing representative of MIDAC witnessed the test session.

Test drivers were Christian Albers, Chanoch Nissany and Nicolas Kiesa.
On the morning test were done by using a couple of Minardi Cosworth PS40B.

As Minardi said on its web page, Kiesa had to find the right asset for the frame 03 and to evaluate a updated software application; Nissany, after his official confirmation as test driver for Minardi, being at his first official test session with Minardi, had to continue his improvement and enhancement with the Formula One car.
Albers has spent the major part of his testing time making long runs driving the 04 frame, working on the asset and completing a race simulation work.

At lunch time part of Minardi team togheter with MIDAC’s representative were having lunch at the restaurant situated at box areas.

Minardi team is expecting to be in position to perform one other additional test session before departure to Australia for the first Formula One Grand Prix 2005.

 The safety to be XTRA

XTRA is MIDAC’s revolutionary new line of batteries.

XTRA features M.A.S.S.(Midac anti-spilling system), an innovative safety system that prevents the electrolyte from leaking even in case of prolonged accidental overturning (roll over test/handling).
The M.A.S.S. safety system is the result of research conducted by Midac’s engineers, who have developed a unique cover containing special labyrinth without moving parts or parts subject to wear enabling these new batteries to pass the rollover/handling tests mentioned above.

XTRA is also equipped with a charge level indicator and an integrated flame arrestor.
XTRA uses expanded lead/calcium plates that guarantee minimum self-discharge and requires absolutely no maintenance.

XTRA guarantees centralized conveyance of gas. By adding the appropriate accessories, you can safely install the battery in any position indicated in the car manufacturer’s manual.

XTRA comes in a rational range of 9 models designed to cover the largest number of applications on Italian and foreign cars.

XTRA is manufactured by Midac S.p.A., whose quality control system is certified under car manufacturer standard ISO TS 16949:2002

XTRA is the only battery to combine the demands of performance and safety with top-quality Italian design.

 Champions Performances

In order to answer the needs of a more and more demanding and growing market, MIDAC started the production of a wide range of technologically advanced motorcycle batteries, able to satisfy any kind of application.

2 lines of products will be offered:

SEALED BATTERIES (wet and dry charged) supplied with small bottles with electrolyte.

TRADITIONAL BATTERIES (low maintenance - dry charged)

The SEALED BATTERIES have a higher cold cranking amperage, if compared with the traditional batteries and they do not need any maintenance. They are manufactured according to a gas recombination technology with micro fibre glass separators (AGM), positive grid made of lead/calcium/tin alloy and negative grid made of lead/calcium alloy. They have a higher reliability and safety, they do not suffer any leakage of acid no matter the inclinations or positions where they are installed, not even in very severe inclinations, and they offer a maximum resistance to any severe vibration, thanks to the "COMPRESSIONE" (???) of the plates and to the use of micro fibre separators.

The self discharge is minimal thanks to the lead/calcium technology for which they can be stored upt o 12 months at an average temperature of 25 °C.

The TRADITIONAL batteries assure 100% coverage of any application, they are very powerful and reliable, and they achieve their best performance even in the most critical moments, satisfying the most demanding and careful customer.
