Conversely, short bursts of power can also be absorbed by the SpeedStart generator to recharge the battery during vehicle decelerations. The concept ensures long term energy storage for delivering short bursts of power to the VTES supercharger during vehicle accelerations and to the SpeedStart stop-start device during engine re-starts.
