Hybrid capacitors, a combination of an ultracapacitor and a lithium-ion battery, providing a longer term energy source than alternative energy storage solutions on the market.
Hybrid capacitors have an energy density up to 115 percent higher than standard electric double-layer capacitors (ELDCs). This allows for faster and more efficient power to applications such as LED lights used in medical devices. Compared with a nickel cadmium or lithium-ion battery, hybrid capacitors provide more than 20 times the cycle life and 60 times faster recharge rates, vastly improving LED lighting products for a variety of industries.
An LED device is brighter, lasts much longer and consumes less than one-third the power and energy of comparable halogen products. Because LEDs use so little energy, hybrid capacitors can provide power for an extended amount of time, saving not only time, but also maintenance costs.
