Ioxus Developing Higher Power Density Ultracapacitors

Green Car Congress

A forklift equipped with an EERS module will increase the useable time of the battery pack by 30% allowing an operator to complete a full eight hour shift on a single charge of the lead acid storage pack. The use of the module also prevents the battery from deep cycling, extending the life of the battery.
