Ultracapacitor, also known as supercapacitor,
supercondenser, electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) or pseudocapacitor, is
an electric capacitor that has an unusually high energy density when compared
to common capacitors, typically on the order of thousands of times greater than
a high capacity electrolytic capacitor. Compared to batteries, ultracapacitors
are capable of more than ten times the power and more than thousand times the
cycle life. These are two main reasons why engineers choose ultracapacitors
over batteries in different applications. Ultracapacitors are proven energy
storage devices that can replace conventional capacitors or batteries in many
applications that require much more energy than what conventional capacitors
are able to provide and that also require higher power outputs that batteries
cannot provide. Datasheet
