New DuraBlue ultracaps from Maxwell increase shock and vibration tolerance, energy and power capacity

Green Car Congress

volt, 3400-farad DuraBlue ultracapacitor cell increases the range of available specific power by 17% and stored energy by 23% in the industry-standard 60 mm cylindrical “K2” form factor. Wh of stored energy. In other words, added Rick Roth, senior product manager, on an energy storage basis, the new cell offers a lower price per Wh.

Ioxus Developing Higher Power Density Ultracapacitors

Green Car Congress

Typical ultracapacitors are characterized by high power density compared to batteries (but poor energy density), as well as quick charge and discharge. Smaller Ioxus cells offer a power density of 22-28 kW/kg, and larger cells offer densities of 12-15 kW/kg, said Chad Hall, COO of Ioxus. Earlier post.).

Ioxus introduces new iCAP ultracapacitor series with a 3,000F cell

Green Car Congress

Rated at 2.7V (2.85V surge), the new iCAP represents the lowest weight, lowest equivalent series resistance (ESR) and highest power density currently available in the market for energy storage cells, the company says. Start-stop for micro-hybrid applications. Quick Specs. Capacitance (F). ESR, AC 1kHz ?(m?). Inductance ±20(nH).

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

Or are you getting in the car and doing 300 miles at 75 miles an hour, where aerodynamic drag consumes more energy than actually moving your two- or three-ton vehicle along the highway? You're not using battery energy while you're plugged in to warm your cabin or to bring your battery up to temperature. But what about plug-in hybrids?
