Young offers third-generation ultracapacitors

The third-generation ultracapacitors provide a 2.7V operating voltage while improving Boostcap's reliability on a high-volume manufacturing platform.

These cells are said to be ideal for applications requiring a pulse of energy that cannot be efficiently provided by a battery or power supply alone.

The K2 Series 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 K2 Series 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.

In applications where power is need in spikes, the K2 Series provides a 'green' power solution to reduce peak power demands on the grid, batteries or generators.

The K2 Series is capable of accepting charges at the identical rate of discharge.
