Maxwell Technologies Presents the BCAP0350 D Cell™ Ultracapacitor

Maxwell's new BCAP0350 is a big step forward in ultracapacitors becoming simpler to integrate. Using industry-standard battery dimensions, the BCAP0350 is much more "plug and play" and can easily be designed into a system.

The BCAP0350 provides system designers a lower-cost, highly reliable, and standard-sized energy storage and power delivery component for seamless and rapid integration in a variety of applications. Maxwell’s BCAP0350 is the first in a series of new ultracapacitors to be standardized on battery-sizing to drive down costs and ease integration of the technology.

As with all BOOSTCAP ultracapacitors, the BCAP0350 supplies bursts of high power and recharges rapidly from any energy source over hundreds of thousands of cycles without significant performance degradation.

The BCAP0350 offers particular benefit to the transportation market where designers can integrate the BCAP0350 to power initial acceleration, operate electrical subsystems and recapture energy from braking for cleaner, more fuel-efficient hybrid electric/internal combustion buses, trucks and automobiles. For industrial systems, the BCAP0350 provides a simple, solid state, highly reliable solution to buffer short-term mismatches between the power available and the power required.
