• UC Davis Study Finds That Ultracapacitor-based Micro-Hybrid Systems Can Deliver Substantial Fuel Economy Improvements
  
  Andrew Burke at UC Davis. Using a high power lithium-ion battery with an energy density of 100 Wh/kg without ultracapacitors, the weight of the battery cells alone would be 120 kg. In their present fuel cell vehicle, the Clarity, Honda utilizes a lithium-ion battery and interface electronics to load level the fuel cell.
