PC2500 Ultracapacitor Product Information
Condis
  • Delivers up to 100 times the energy of conventional capacitors and delivers ten times the power of ordinary batteries
  • Is optimized for individual applications through its capacity to repeatedly charge and discharge
  • Offers instantaneous ride-through power
 
Features & Benefits

BOOSTCAP® Ultracapacitors are charged from and used in conjunction with a primary power supply — whether that power supply is a battery, fuel cell, or generator. Through its small size and its ability to relieve power intensive systems or peak power functions, the ultracapacitor drastically extends a system's life while reducing overall cost and size. It is packaged in a durable, lightweight, hermetically-sealed aluminum encasement. The ultracapacitor features accessible terminals and an electrostatic storage capability that can cycle hundreds of thousands of charges and discharges without performance degradation.

Dimensions & Description

The PC2500 is a 2700 farad ultracapacitor that caches 8400 Joules of energy at a nominal voltage of 2.5V. Measuring 161 x 62 x 61.5 mm, the device is ideal for industrial, UPS, hybrid electric vehicle, and fuel cell applications, or for any other application requiring pulse power, high cycle reliability, and/or low maintenance.

The PC2500 is charged from and used in conjunction with a primary power supply — whether that power supply is a battery, fuel cell, or generator. Through its small size and its ability to relieve power intensive systems of peak power functions, the ultracapacitor drastically extends a system's life while reducing its overall cost and size.

The PC2500 is also an ideal source of back-up power and pulse. It reduces the significant cost and safety risks that result from power interruptions to, for example, an industrial plant or hospital during dips, sags, and outages in the main power supply. Like all BOOSTCAP products, the PC2500 is capable of accepting changes at the identical rate of discharge.
