Summary
Designed as a cylindrical package similar in size to a standard D sized battery, Maxwell Technologies'® D Cell™ BCAP0310 and BCAP0350 ultracapacitors are ideal for automotive subsystems, medical devices, uniterruptible power supplier, backup power and pulse, wind turbine pitch control, and many other applications requiring a pulse of energy that cannot be efficiently provided by a battery or power supply alone.
The BCAP0310 and BCAP0350 work in tandem with batteries for applications that require both a constant low power discharge for continual function and a pulse power for peak loads. In these applications, the device relieves batteries of peak power functions resulting in an extension of battery life and a reduction of overall battery size and cost.
Both cells can provide extended power availability, allowing critical information and functions to remain available during dips, sags, and outages in a power supply or battery change. And, like all Maxwell Technologies® ultracapacitors, the BCAP0310 and BCAP0350 are capable of accepting changes at the identical rate of discharge.

Typical Applications
BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitors provide extended power availability, allowing critical information and functions to remain available during dips, sags, and outages in the main power source. In addition, they can relieve batteries of burst power functions, thereby reducing costs and maximizing space and energy efficiency. The ultracapacitors features a cylindrical design and an electrostatic storage capability that can cycle hundreds of thousands of charges and discharges without performance degradation.
