Overview:
>
The Power-type ultracapacitor product line gives customers in the automotive and transportation sector a much
wider range of choices to meet their energy storage and power delivery requirements.
The cells are specically engineered for hybrid vehicle drive trains, automotive subsystems and other heavy duty
applications that require the lowest equivalent series resistance (ESR) and highest efciency available.
In addition to meeting or exceeding demanding automotive and transportation application requirements for both
watt-hours of energy storage and watts of power delivery per kilogram, all of these products will perform reliably
for more than one million discharge-recharge cycles.
The proprietary architecture and material science on which BOOSTCAP® products are based enable continued
leadership in controlling costs, exibility in product offerings and allow application specic performance tailoring.
The cells operate at 2.7 volts, enabling them to store more energy and deliver more power per unit volume than
any other commercially available ultracapacitor products.
