Discover the Advanced Capabilities of the TELWIN LEADER 220 START 230V
Fast Starting When Time Matters
The starting function of the TELWIN LEADER 220 START is real help in an emergency. When the battery gives up and a vehicle or machine has to be started right away, this unit delivers the necessary burst of power. With a start current of 140A (1V/C) or even 200A (max), the LEADER 220 START copes with most petrol and diesel engines in common vehicles.
You no longer have to rely on a second vehicle and jump leads or wait for help. For a professional workshop this means independence and fast response. Think of a tow truck that cannot move off or a farm machine needed for urgent field work: the LEADER 220 START cuts downtime to an absolute minimum and lets work resume immediately. It is not just convenience but real savings and a reputation as a reliable specialist.
Versatile Charging: 12V and 24V Under Full Control
The TELWIN LEADER 220 START was designed with versatility in mind. It handles both 12V batteries, typical of cars, motorcycles and smaller vehicles, and 24V batteries, used in trucks, buses, construction and agricultural machinery, which makes it one unit for many jobs. This is essential for workshops that service a mixed fleet or many different types of machines.
Two charging current settings, including normal charging and fast BOOST charging, give you flexibility. You can choose standard charging to maintain or recover a battery, or use the BOOST function to deliver energy quickly when the situation calls for it. The built-in ammeter lets you monitor the process continuously, so you can be sure that charging is running correctly and efficiently. This control is invaluable for keeping batteries in optimal condition and extending their service life.
Safe Operation: Protection for Equipment and User
Working with electricity and batteries calls for particular care. TELWIN, as a renowned manufacturer, understands this well, which is why the LEADER 220 START is equipped with the essential protection systems. The key ones are protection against overload and protection against reverse polarity (swapped clamps).
Overload protection safeguards both the charger itself and the electrical installation against the effects of excessive current draw. Reverse polarity protection is just as valuable: connecting the clamps to the battery the wrong way round can seriously damage the battery, the vehicle electronics and even the charger itself. Thanks to these safeguards, the risk of failure is much lower even when you are in a hurry or working in less favourable conditions. That means peace of mind for every professional who values the reliability and safety of their equipment and of the vehicles they service.
Italian TELWIN Quality: Built to Last
The TELWIN brand stands for European quality and reliability in the welding and workshop sector. The LEADER 220 START is no exception. The unit is built for intensive use in demanding conditions. A solid metal housing protects the internal components against mechanical damage, dust and other hazards typical of a workshop environment.
Compact dimensions and an ergonomic handle make it easy to carry the unit wherever it is needed. Simple, intuitive operation with clear switches and indicators makes working with the LEADER 220 START efficient and trouble-free. When you invest in a TELWIN product, you can be sure you are choosing equipment designed by experts that will serve you reliably for many years, supporting your daily work and the professionalism of your service.
