(Image: Skeleton Technologies) The difference comes from the fact that ultracapacitors store energy in an electric field, rather than in a chemical reaction, like batteries. These characteristics ...

Kemet has introduced a supercapacitor balancing development kit for its S301 family of 60mm diameter capacitors. Used in series, supercapacitors need electronics to ensure no capacitor goes over the ...

As the cost to produce supercapacitors (SCAPs, or ultracapacitors) continues to decline, they are carving out a niche in the marketplace between conventional capacitors and batteries. And, although ...
