This electrostatic energy storage mechanism enables ultracapacitors to charge and discharge in as little as fractions of a second, perform normally over a broad temperature range (-40°C to +65°C), operate reliably through 1 million or more charge/discharge cycles and resist shock and vibration. The ultracapacitor cells are the same.
