MARIETTA, Ga., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — To help drivers better understand different vehicle starting needs, ANCEL analyzed hundreds of Amazon customer reviews and identified  real-world starting challenges frequently mentioned by supercapacitor starter users, from long-term parking and parasitic drain to cold weather, frequent starts and different vehicle demands.

Vehicles That Sit

Collector cars, seasonal vehicles, campers and second cars may be left parked for weeks.

Extended inactivity can weaken batteries, making starting difficult. For these owners, the ANCEL super starter provides reliable starting support between drives.

Parasitic Battery Drain

Owners also mention parasitic battery drain from parking-mode dash cameras, aftermarket electronics or minor electrical faults.

Some owners reported replacing batteries multiple times without fully solving the problem. During troubleshooting, permanently installed ANCEL Super Starters provide additional starting support.

Cold-Weather Starting

Cold-weather starting is another common concern.

Low temperatures increase battery and starter load. Operating from -40°F to 176°F (-40°C to 80°C), the super starter helps provide reliable starting support in harsh conditions.

Frequent Starts & Daily Commutes

Short commutes and stop-and-go traffic prevent the battery from fully recharging, gradually reducing its capacity.

The BS Series absorbs peak cranking load on every start — even during dozens of daily restarts — helping the battery maintain charge when the alternator doesn’t have time to fully replenish it.

Different Vehicles, Different Starting Needs

The BS Series includes three models designed for different starting requirements:

• BS200(700A, Gasoline or diesel engines up to 3.0L/2.5T): Compact gasoline vehicles, passenger cars and recreational equipment.
• BS300(1000A, Gasoline or diesel engines up to 3.5L/3.0T): Family SUVs, larger passenger vehicles and light trucks.
• BS400 (1300A, Gasoline or diesel engines up to 6.0L/6.0T): Diesel pickups, heavy-duty trucks and larger equipment.

Beyond passenger vehicles, owners have also installed the super starters on UTVs, boats, tractors, backhoe loaders and other diesel-powered equipment.

Engine size provides a reference, while actual starting requirements should guide model selection.

Battery Monitoring for Smarter Maintenance

The companion app displays real-time voltage and starting data, helping some owners identify charging-system issues, including alternator problems, before visiting a repair shop.

“We hope these customer insights help drivers choose the right model based on their vehicles and driving habits,” said an ANCEL representative.

The company introduces an Agentic Experience Optimization Platform built to understand, decide, act, and prove across every digital touchpoint, with Wingz as its AI engine

PARIS, DELHI, India and NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following the merger announced earlier this year, VWO and AB Tasty today unveiled Wingify as the unified global brand for the combined business. The move also marks the unveiling of a combined platform under a single category, Agentic Experience Optimization Platform, and a single promise: Make every digital experience relevant.

One Name, One Flight Path

VWO and AB Tasty each spent more than 15 years building their businesses independently before merging. Together, the company now represents more than $100 million in revenue, 4,000+ customers worldwide, and a team of 700+ people across 11 offices in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.

“Bringing VWO and AB Tasty together was never just about combining two platforms,” said Sparsh Gupta, CEO of Wingify. “It’s about giving our customers a clearer path forward with a strong data foundation that helps you act. AI is not another layer we’ve added to the platform; it is the platform’s operating logic, as it sees what is happening, decides what to do next, and acts while the visitor is still on the page. Every one of those decisions is measured, so relevance is something we can prove rather than promise.”

AI is changing what is possible. The new brand and platform are grounded in two ideas: clarity and curiosity. Together with AI, they create a new approach to optimization, connecting every touchpoint across the suite and turning insight into smarter action.

Introducing the Agentic Experience Optimization Platform

Wingify is now a new Agentic Experience Optimization Platform: where experimentation, personalization, behavioral insights, commerce optimization, feature management, and customer engagement run on one data foundation, one workflow, and one AI. The customer decides in moments, and Wingify closes that gap by understanding, deciding, and acting while the visit is still happening, and then proving whether it worked.

The foundation powers the Relevance Loop:

Understand. Reads behavioral, journey, affinity, intent, contextual, and emotional signals — including from anonymous visitors.

Decide. AI connects that understanding and determines the next best move: the right experience, design, feature, message, or recommendation for each person.

Act. Turns decisions into live experiences the moment they matter, using the same data and intelligence across the same connected suite.

Measure & Learn. Experimentation and analytics measure every action against business outcomes, turning results into new learning that makes every next decision sharper.

“Disconnected tools quietly cost teams time,” said Alix de Sagazan, CRO of Wingify. “An insight from one tool has to be manually rebuilt somewhere else, and every handoff invites delay and errors. Wingify closes those gaps, so insight turns into an action and action turns into a better experience.”

Wingz: AI Woven Through Every Stage

Wingz, Wingify’s embedded AI, runs across the Relevance Loop, using live behavioral data to understand visitors, recommend and activate changes, and measure their impact.

“Most AI in marketing software is an assistant sitting on top of a product. It can tell you things, but it cannot do much, and it certainly cannot tell you whether it was right. We built this the other way round. It runs inside the loop, so it sees the signal, makes the call, ships the change, and then measures it. That last part is the hard part, and it is why we spent 15 years building the experimentation layer underneath it,” said Ankit Jain, Co-founder and Chief Product & Technology Officer at Wingify.

What This Means for Customers

Existing VWO and AB Tasty customers can expect a platform that lets them see and act on the bigger picture, with a client base that includes L’Oréal, LVMH, Decathlon, Puma, Forbes, Motorola, AXA, De Beers, and more.”Our customers built real momentum with VWO and AB Tasty long before this merger,” said Rémi Aubert, Co-founder and Chief Customer & Strategy officer at Wingify. “This isn’t about starting over. It’s about giving that momentum wings: a clearer runway, a sharper set of tools, and a platform built to make every single interaction more relevant than the last”

The new site and brand are live today at wingify.com

CHONGQING, China, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from iChongqing.

The 2026 Yangtze River Civilization Forum opened on September 15 in Chongqing, gathering scholars, officials and diplomatic representatives from nearly 20 countries — including Egypt, Brazil, India, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Australia and Mexico — to explore how the world’s great river civilizations can learn from one another.

Co-hosted by the CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) under the permanent theme “Crossing Rivers and Seas, Mutual Learning of Civilizations,” this year’s forum focuses on exchanges among river civilizations and sustainable river basin development.

“Every wave of the Yangtze is a vivid footnote to exchange and mutual learning among civilizations,” CASS President Gao Xiang said at the opening, calling the forum a concrete practice of the Global Civilization Initiative and a useful exploration of different paths to modernization.

British scholar Martin Jacques, Visiting Research Fellow at LSE’s Asia Research Centre, told the forum that “a fundamental aspect of civilization is about rediscovering and exhuming the past.” The forum, he said, is exploring “how the great rivers of the world have shaped humanity, the culture of those who live on their banks, the differences and commonalities their peoples share.” In his words, “rivers are bearers of change, they are the arteries of civilization, they enable contact and cross-fertilisation that otherwise would be impossible, they bring humanity together, they encourage cosmopolitanism and mixing rather than isolation and separation.”

The forum is producing tangible cooperation. Following the 2025 China-Egypt dialogue that produced the documentary When the Yangtze Meets the Nile, Chongqing’s Baiheliang hydrological inscriptions — often described as the world’s earliest hydrological station — are pursuing a joint World Heritage inscription with Egypt’s Nilometer on Rhoda Island. In 2026, the dialogue extends to South America through the “When the Yangtze Meets the Amazon” initiative and a new co-produced documentary, Rivers in Harmony.

The Chongqing Yangtze River Culture Research Institute also unveiled its first research outputs: the five-volume Yangtze Civilization Series: Upper Reaches of Great Rivers and the 140-volume Compendium of Travel Writings on the Chuanjiang River and Shu Roads.

Also launched was the “A Bond between Great Rivers” international communication project, linking river cities worldwide through film production, think-tank dialogues, youth exchanges and media visits.

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, today announced that it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed Edge Services 2026 Vendor Assessment (doc #US54122426, September 2026).

According to the IDC MarketScape, “EdgeOne natively converges intelligent acceleration, DDoS protection, web application firewall, bot management, edge compute, edge storage, edge AI inference, as well as web application and AI agent development and deployment capabilities through EdgeOne Makers. Delivered through a unified platform, these capabilities help customers reduce the integration and operational complexity associated with managing multiple products.”

Building Edge Infrastructure for AI-Native Applications and High-Performance Edge AI Services

The IDC MarketScape notes, “Content delivery performance and network proximity—the traditional value propositions of managed edge—are now baseline expectations rather than differentiators. The competitive frontier has shifted to AI inference at the edge, where vendors are being evaluated on GPU availability, model deployment tooling, inference latency, and token cost efficiency versus centralized cloud AI services.”

To address this shift, Tencent Cloud EdgeOne is evolving its global infrastructure into an edge foundation for AI-native applications. It provides enterprises with edge acceleration, security protection, edge AI inference, and full-stack capabilities to develop and deploy web applications and AI agents. On the security front, Tencent Cloud is expanding EdgeOne’s protection capabilities beyond traditional cyberattacks to include the identification and management of emerging access patterns, including AI crawlers and AI agents.

Tencent Cloud EdgeOne is bringing AI inference closer to end users to meet the real-time demands of modern applications. In scenarios such as real-time conversations, transactions, gaming interactions, and media content generation, response time directly affects user experience. Tencent Cloud EdgeOne’s edge AI inference platform, Booster, extends the platform’s globally distributed infrastructure from content delivery to AI computing. By deploying inference services closer to business applications, Booster enables image and video generation, voice and audio processing, storage, and caching to take place nearer to end users. This allows applications such as artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) production, real-time media processing, intelligent recommendations, and advertising decision-making to access computing resources closer to where they are needed, enabling millisecond-level response times.

In the managed hosting sector, the rise of “vibe coding”—the practice of using AI to build applications through natural language—is expanding application development beyond websites toward the creation of AI agents. As large numbers of newly generated agents move into production environments, businesses are placing greater demands on rapid deployment and managed hosting.

Tencent Cloud EdgeOne’s edge hosting platform, Makers, now supports both web applications and AI agents in addition to traditional website hosting. Developers can bring completed projects online with minimal adaptation, without building and maintaining the underlying runtime infrastructure. Makers currently serves more than 500,000 users and hosts more than one million websites, supporting corporate websites, cross-border e-commerce, AI SaaS applications, and agents across various industries, including healthcare, government, and legal services.

Edge AI Powers Real-Time Applications Across Gaming, Audio & Video, and E-Commerce

Today, Tencent Cloud EdgeOne operates more than 3,200 edge nodes with over 400Tbps of network capacity and more than 50 secondary ISP interconnections, covering Chinese Mainland and other major markets across Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe. From supporting Tencent’s own large-scale gaming, audio and video, and e-commerce businesses to serving enterprises across industries worldwide, EdgeOne brings decades of experience in global edge infrastructure and supports sectors including finance, gaming, media, e-commerce and new retail, logistics, ticketing, aviation, and hospitality. It provides a technology foundation for enterprises expanding globally and entering the Chinese market.

Empowering the Gaming Industry with Low-Latency Delivery 

According to IDC’s China Gaming Cloud Market Tracker, H1 2025, Tencent Cloud CDN services powered by EdgeOne have ranked first in China by revenue for four consecutive years. Gaming resource delivery volume has also ranked first. EdgeOne has supported the distribution and security of Farlight 84, which attracted over 16 million pre-registrations ahead of launch, and Mecha BREAK, which registered over 5.2 million players for its global open beta. It has also defended Delta Force against hundreds of attacks. Meanwhile, EdgeOne Booster provides edge inference capabilities for emerging use cases such as AI-powered Non-Player Characters (NPCs), intelligent recommendations, and real-time content generation, bringing computing resources closer to players and enhancing real-time interactive experiences.

Accelerating Audio & Video Content Delivery Globally 

EdgeOne covers 80% of the top 10 China-based outbound audio and video social applications by scale and serves leading global customers including Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME), Japanese karaoke app Pokekara, and Pakistani internet TV platform ARY ZAP. As AI reshapes content production and interactive experiences, EdgeOne Booster enables open-source multimodal models to be deployed at the edge, allowing images, video, and audio assets to be generated and processed closer to users without being sent back to centralized cloud infrastructure. This significantly shortens the AI content production workflow and provides global media businesses with high-concurrency, low-latency edge inference capabilities.

Driving Conversions for E-commerce and New Retail with AI 

EdgeOne Makers enables one-stop deployment and hosting of e-commerce AI agents, helping AI move from “answering questions” to “solving problems.” Across customer service, logistics tracking, returns and exchanges, and product selection and marketing, AI agents can execute business tasks directly, providing 24/7 service and improving operational efficiency for global businesses.

Beyond the IDC MarketScape, Tencent Cloud has also been recognized as a representative vendor in three Gartner Market Guides covering Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) mitigation solutions, web application and API protection (WAAP), and edge distribution platforms, with related capabilities incorporated into the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) international standards.

From accelerating and protecting the internet to connecting AI computing and powering AI applications, Tencent Cloud EdgeOne continues to extend its global network, security, and edge computing capabilities for the AI era, helping enterprises across industries connect with users worldwide and bring AI-powered businesses into production.
