Automotive Applications
Supercapacitors are seen as an enabling technology for resolving critical vehicle power requirements.
Driving operations such as ignition and acceleration require significant bursts of power. While banks
of batteries can be used, they are very bulky (oversized and over weight) and not well suited to power-burst
applications. In general, the advantages of supercapacitors over batteries in the automotive market include their
reduced size and weight which yields both design and cost improvements, their operating temperature
range, and their ability to absorb and deliver energy very quickly.
CAP-XX is not currently pursuing automotive
engagements but will continue to evaluate this market as industry research progresses.
