GTCAP high farad super capacitor 2.7V 3000F low ESR

An super capacitor (also called ultracapacitor, electric double-layer capacitor) differs from an ordinary capacitor in two important ways: its plates effectively have a much bigger area and the distance between them is much smaller, because the separator between them works in a different way to a conventional dielectric.The plates are made from metal coated with a porous substance such as powdery, activated charcoal, which effectively gives them a bigger area for storing much more charge.

What are the Advantages of a Super Capacitor?

*Virtually unlimited life cycle - cycles millions of time -10 to 12 year life 

*Low impedance
*Charges in seconds

*No danger of overcharge

*Very high rates of charge and discharge

*High cycle efficiency (95% or more)

*Super capacitors and ultra capacitors are relatively expensive in terms of cost per watt

What are the Disadvantages of Ultra Capacitor ?

*Linear discharge voltage prevents use of the full energy spectrum.

*Low energy density - typically holds one-fifth to one-tenth the energy of an electrochemical battery.

*Cells have low voltages - serial connections are needed to obtain higher voltages. Voltage balancing is required if more than three capacitors are connected in series.

*High self-discharge - the rate is considerably higher than that of an electrochemical battery.

*Requires sophisticated electronic control and switching equipment.

Will Supercapacitors Replace the Battery?

A supercapacitor by itself cannot totally replace the battery. But, by merging a supercapacitor and a battery together - likea "Hybrid Battery" it will be possible for supercapcitors to replace the battery as we know it today.Supercapacitors needbatteries to store the energy and are basically used as a buffer between the battery and the device. Supercapacitors can be charged and discharged hundreds of thousands of times where a battery cannot do that.Soon the price point will be where most every electronic device will use them. As a hybrid battery.It will be the new super battery.
