New from Painless are our PowerStar alternators and starters. These aren't just any off-the-shelf, run-of-the-mill alternators, either. PowerStar alternators

are made exclusively for Painless by Powermaster to address a specific need: maximum output at low rpm.

Many car owners with fuel injected vehicles find that when they are running accessories such as air conditioning, electric fans and other amperage consuming devices, their battery is unable to handle the load when cruising at low rpm. Some even make the mistake of buying a high amp alternator to fix the problem.

But the problem isn't the maximum amperage output of the alternator, it's where that output is generated. Having 140 amps at 3,000 rpm isn't going to do you a whole lot of good

if your alternator is only putting out 30 amps at idle. Chances are, if you're running a lot of accessories (especially if you have fuel injection), you'll drain the battery if you idle around for any length of time.

Our engineers have been hard at it and we presented a record amount of new products at this year's SEMA Show last week - seventy five new products in all. That's quite an accomplishment and led to a heavy amount of buzz at the Painless booth all week. Over the next few weeks we'll be posting information on this page about these hot new products so be sure to check back regularly to see what's coming in 2007 from the leader in automotive electrical products.

First up, new from Painless are our PowerStar alternators and starters. These aren't just any off-the-shelf, run-of-the-mill alternators, either. PowerStar alternators are made exclusively for Painless by Powermaster to address a specific need: maximum output at low rpm.

Many car owners with fuel injected vehicles find that when they are running accessories such as air conditioning, electric fans and other amperage consuming devices, their battery is unable to handle the load when cruising at low rpm. Some even make the mistake of buying a high amp alternator to fix the problem.

But the problem isn't the maximum amperage output of the alternator, it's where that output is generated. Having 140 amps at 3,000 rpm isn't going to do you a whole lot of good if your alternator is only putting out 30 amps at idle. Chances are, if you're running a lot of accessories (especially if you have fuel injection), you'll drain the battery if you idle around for any length of time.

PowerStar is the solution to this dilemma. The PowerStar alternator generates 70 amps at idle (approximately 2,000 alternator rpm). That will give you more than enough amperage to keep the battery charged under any circumstances. Check out these other features as well:

Simple one wire operation

Adjustable voltage from 13.5 to 18.5 volts

Perfect for 16 volts systems

Instantaneous response to increased loads for stable power supply

Front baffle and fan for improved cooling

PowerStar alternators are straight-mount, CS130-style alternators clocked at 12:00 and 6:00. They are available in natural finish, black or show quality chrome.

If you've experienced inadequate operation of electrical accessories at low rpm, PowerStar is your Painless solution
