The so called Electric Supercharger only includes a blower and that is it, no wiring harness, no batteries. I cant seem to find where you can actaully buy the batteries or any real info on the system or costs on the 6 batteries needed to run the system.
Some Faq quotes from the Thomas Knight Site. All negatives.

What do you have to make to install the unit?
1) Three mounts to support it--1" x 1/8" thick steel sections with holes every 2" are available at Home Depot and hardware stores. You cut and bend three pieces to hold the ESC and bolt them in place. 2) Most people already have a cold air kit, so you may have to shorten part of the cold air pipe and connect it to the ESC discharge. 3) Attach your cold air kit's air filter onto the ESC inlet. 4) Mount the BOV, check valve, and optional in-line fuel injector (you can use an FMU instead). You are now done mounting the ESC. All that's left is mounting the batteries and running cables, just like a high end stereo system.

I have a stock alternator. How long will recharging take?
For vehicles with stock alternators rated to 90 amps or less, we recommend either upgrading to a 200+ amp unit, or simply recharging your battery bank at home. If you decide to go with a high-output alternator, your batteries will recharge after several minutes of driving.

What does the ESC™ sound like? Is it loud?
Yes. It is loud like a large vacuum cleaner at the local gas station. You can hear it from several hundred feet away. The sound is what you would expect from three powerful eletric motors and a positive displacement supercharger. If the air filter is placed a long distance away from the ESC there is virtually no noise at all.
