Typical Applications

  • Peak power for pulsed loads
    ✓ Isolate the source from fluctuations in the load (input smoothing).
    ✓ Extend battery life and run-time, especially when “old or cold”.
    ✓ Enable the use of cheaper, smaller, lower power batteries.
  • Ride-through power for mission-critical applications
    ✓ Isolate the load from fluctuations in the source (output smoothing).
    ✓ Remove the need for back-up batteries and impact-resistant connectors.
    ✓ Provide a low maintenance, uninterruptable on-board power supply.
  • Energy storage for energy harvesters and quick charge power supplies
    ✓ Environmentally friendly, low maintenance alternative to rechargeable batteries.
    ✓ Efficient charging, with minimal losses, from variable / low power sources.
    ✓ Ultra-quick charging via cable, cradle or induction to maximize operating time.

Notes:
1. Select products are available ex-stock (Standard products). The remainder are available to order.
2. Capacitance will decline and ESR will rise over time, at a rate which depends on temperature and voltage. Continuous operation at high temperature & voltage is not recommended. See Section 6 for more information on ageing and endurance.
3. DC capacitance and ESR tolerance are measured at 23°C.
4. Thickness is measured between two parallel plates with 140gm force applied.
5. Leakage current is measured after charging to nominal voltage for 120hrs at 23°C.
6. Single pulse, non-repetitive current (positive & negative terminal short-circuited).
