OptiXtal Supercaps: Superthin, Superlight, Superjob

The World’s First
Ultra-Thin
Super Capacitor

Imagine increasing the duration of a battery’s charge up to 50%—and the battery’s usable life by double. With the revolutionary new ultra-thin, ultra-light, low-ESR OptiXtal Supercaps, you can have it now. In addition, the bendable shell gives you design options unavailable with hard-case supercapacitors, and you can readily achieve loads exceeding 1000 milliamps per square inch. OptiXtal Supercaps are also easily configurable in series or in parallel, can be used in conjunction with batteries, or can be used as a solo power source when continuous running is not required.

What’s the difference between OptiXtal and the competition?

• Better energy density ratio: OptiXtal Supercaps provide 15 kilowatts per liter or 18.25 joules per square inch.

• Self-discharge voltage characteristics: OptiXtal Supercaps can double the running time between charges and offer an ESR (DC) of 70 mΩ on the 5F, and 20 mΩ on the 25F.
• Weight-to-energy ratio: The thin, flexible 5F OptiXtal Supercap weighs 2.5 g and can be stacked for increased power boost. Competitive 5F units weigh 4.0 g or more and generally don’t fit into portable electronics devices without product redesign.
• Energy harvesting: OptiXtal Supercaps support energy harvesting from motion, light, or other sources, enabling an entire sensing system to be wireless and maintenance-free.
• Custom built to your space requirements.

Technical Data

Matching capacitance

It takes 25 traditional 0.2F capacitors to match one OptiXtal 5F unit. Think what that could mean in tight space architecture.

Applications

The high power requirements of today’s portable electronic devices severely compromise usefulness—they’re great for an hour or so, then you have to wait hours while the battery recharges. OptiXtal Supercaps reduce battery drain, which significantly extends charge durations. They’re also light, thin, and bendable, so architecture doesn’t need to be altered.

Energy harvest

Today’s industrial applications require thousands of sensing devices to control and monitor all the separate processes. Powering these sensors with OptiXtal Supercaps enables energy harvesting of motion, vibration, light, or other sources, making a system wireless and virtually maintenance-free.

Green technology

Cutting energy consumption is a call being heard throughout industry worldwide. With low self-discharge voltage characteristics, high energy density, superior energy/ weight ratio, and continuous recharging of start-up blast power, the call is being answered loud and clear—by OptiXtal Supercaps.
