Maxwell Technologies introduces new BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitor energy storage products for industrial and consumer electronic applications
|
Maxwell Technologies has unveiled a family of BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitor products specifically designed to meet the power and energy requirements of industrial and consumer electronics applications. The HC product family includes compact, cost-effective, 25- 50- and 150-Farad cells. |
Michael Liedtke, Maxwell’s vice president for sales marketing and business development, said that the new HC family of products includes compact, cost-effective, 25-, 50- 150-farad cells, all rated at 2.7 volts. Key features and benefits include:
- Reliable performance for 500,000 or more charge/discharge cycles
- Zero maintenance over estimated 10-year operating lifetime
- Broad operational temperature range (-40 to +65C)
- High power and energy density in low-volume, lightweight package
- Two-pin radial design for easy mounting
- Resistant to reverse polarity
- Scalable to higher voltages via multi-cell configurations
“System designers are recognizing that ultracapacitors enhance energy efficiency and functionality and provide ‘life of the application’ durability for virtually any electronic device or system,” said Liedtke. “The HC product family responds to growing demand by delivering Maxwell’s industry-leading technology in new form factors that are suitable for a broader range of electronic applications.”
Typical applications benefiting from ultracapacitor cells in the 25-to-150-farad range include:
- Robotics and factory automation
- Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems for industrial and telecommunications installations
- Renewable energy systems, including solar and wind energy generation systems
- Cordless power tools
- Consumer electronics
BOOSTCAP ultracapacitor products deliver up to 10 times the power and longevity of batteries, require no maintenance and operate reliably in extreme temperatures. In transportation applications, they efficiently recapture energy from braking for reuse in hybrid and all-electric drive trains, reducing energy consumption and emissions. They also provide compact, lightweight, “life-of-the vehicle” solutions to stabilize automotive power networks and power new, all-electric subsystems, such as drive-by-wire steering. In mission-critical industrial applications, where backup power ensures continued operation or a soft shutdown in the event of power interruptions, they provide reliable, cost-effective, maintenance-free energy storage. In wind turbine blade pitch and braking systems and other industrial applications, they provide a simple, solid state, highly reliable, solution to buffer short-term mismatches between the power available and the power required.
