BCAP0008 Ultracapacitor Product Information

Long lifetime of several hundred thousand cycles Fast charging with high currents and very high discharge currents Resistant against reverse polarity Ultra-low internal resistance Environmentally friendly Low weight and volume Shock- and vibration-proof

Features & Benefits

BOOSTCAP® Ultracapacitors provide extended power availability, allowing critical information and functions to remain available during dips, sags, and outages in the main power source. In addition, it can relieve batteries of burst power functions, thereby reducing costs and maximizing space and energy efficiency. The ultracapacitor features a cylindrical design and an electrostatic storage capability that can cycle hundreds of thousands of charges and discharges without performance degradation.

Dimensions & Description

With a capacitance of 1800 farads at 2.5 volts, and in a cylindrical 50 x 172 mm package, Maxwell's BCAP0008 ultracapacitor is ideal for automotive subsystems, medical devices, UPS/backup power, and many other applications requiring a pulse of energy that cannot be efficiently provided by a battery or power supply alone.

The BCAP0008 works in tandem with batteries for applications that require both a constant low power discharge for continual function and a pulse power for peak loads. In these applications, the device relieves batteries of peak power functions resulting in an extension of battery life and a reduction of overall battery size and cost.

The BCAP0008 is also an ideal source of back-up power and pulse. It can provide extended power availability, allowing critical information and functions to remain available during dips, sags, and outages in a power supply or battery change. And, like all Maxwell ultracapacitors, the BCAP0008 is capable of accepting changes at the identical rate of discharge.
