Features & Benefits
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, it can relieve batteries of burst power functions, thereby reducing costs and maximizing space and energy efficiency. The ultracapacitor features accessible terminals and an electrostatic storage capability that can cycle hundreds of thousands of charges and discharges without performance degradation.
Description
Maxwell's UL recognized PC10 ultracapacitor is ideal for consumer electronics, automotive subsystems, wireless transmission, medical devices, automatic meter readers, and many other applications requiring a pulse of energy that cannot be efficiently provided by a battery or power supply alone.
The PC10 works 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.
The PC10 is also an ideal source of back-up and pulse power. It 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 BOOSTCAP products, the PC10 is capable of accepting charges at the identical rate of discharge.
