Maxwell Technologies, Inc.: Gss Module Sizing Calculator

This document provides instructions for calculating the recommended number of Maxwell GSS modules needed to crank a diesel engine based on engine specifications, temperature, desired cranking time, and other factors. It includes input fields for the user to enter engine details and environmental conditions. The spreadsheet will then provide the estimated number of new and end-of-life modules required to achieve the desired cranking time. Actual results may vary from the calculated values.
