Supercapacitor operation – a higher power source

June 7, 2020 By Jeff Shepard

Thousands of Farads and power densities of thousands of watts per kilogram are among the chief benefits of supercapacitors (also called ultracapacitors). These devices operate in a fundamentally different way compared with conventional capacitors or batteries. Most supercapacitors commonly used today are double-layer capacitors which provide high power capabilities. Pseudo-capacitors are a less common form […]

Applying large banks of supercapacitors

February 5, 2020 By Lee Teschler

It pays to know techniques for mitigating leakage current and over- voltages in uses where several supercapacitors work in parallel. Michele Kinman Advanced Linear Devices Inc. In applications requiring rapid charge/discharge cycles or short-term energy storage, you’ll often find supercapacitors connected in series or parallel. However, there’s a potential problem when supercaps are wired together […]

Energy efficient supercapacitor cell balancers include over-voltage protection

October 8, 2019 By Lee Teschler

advanced linear devices

The precision dual-channel SABMBOVP2XX family of products automatically balances supercapacitors with the addition of over-voltage protection (OVP). The result is energy-efficient supercapacitor balancing, ideal for products that require low-loss energy power, leakage current regulation, and OVP. Supercapacitor cells typically operate at a nominal recommended working voltage. However, voltages that exceed the maximum rating for a […]

Supercapacitors work at 3 V for rewable energy, industrial uses

January 10, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas

Maxwell Technologies, Inc. announced the launch of a new full-featured 3.0-volt (3.0V) product platform. With the introduction of these next-generation ultracapacitors, users have the ability to increase energy and power in the same form factor as the 2.7-volt product line and can significantly cost-optimize their system designs by using fewer ultracapacitor cells or modules. Alternatively, users […]
