The LEAB PowAirBox is a system for supplying electricity and compressed

3About the PowAirBox
With the LEAB PowAirBox, the supply is fed in via a special plug connection
and combines electricity and compressed air in a single cable. When the
vehicle engine is started, the coupling is automatically disconnected from
the vehicle and the protective cover closes automatically. The status display
provides reliable information about the current charge status of the
connected battery and the charging process. Two auxiliary contacts
installed in the PowAirBox serve to establish a start locking mechanism.
