With Tesla’s battery day event not too far off, and their acquisition of Maxwell Technologies, I thought it was worth taking a closer look at what a supercapacitor is. Some believe that ...

The same size for the same value, DSF types work up to 9V at 65°C, falling to 7.5V at 85°C. The price paid for this extra voltage performance is a reduction in life to 1,000 hours. “These ...

Supercapacitors are definitely not the same as batteries, we all know that. They tend to have a very low operating voltage, and due to their operating principle of storing charge on parallel ...

Battery solutions provider's system provides advanced energy storage for next-gen vehicles that require high-power burst ...

Capacitors are a circuitry tool, and supercapacitors use them in a battery-like design. Batteries move energy using chemical reactions, and these can deteriorate over time. Special materials ...

The new supercapacitor could be used in streetlights, consumer electronics, electric car batteries, and medical devices, according to the researchers. University of Cambridge researchers have ...

The energy density (a weakness of supercapacitors) turned out to be competitive with that of lithium-ion batteries. Because chemical reactions occur between the electrodes and this material when ...

In this article, I will take apart a Li-ion alternative to the classic 6F22 9V battery. This battery is a Chinese 9V/500mAh USB rechargeable Li-ion battery (sold under the brand name infinite). The ...
