Ioxus Developing Higher Power Density Ultracapacitors

Green Car Congress

Typical ultracapacitors are characterized by high power density compared to batteries (but poor energy density), as well as quick charge and discharge. The use of the module also prevents the battery from deep cycling, extending the life of the battery. Earlier post.).
