EATON PowerStor Supercapacitors

EATON PowerStor Supercapacitors are unique and ultra-high capacitance devices that utilize Electrochemical Double-Layer Capacitor (EDLC) construction combined with high-performance materials. This combination of advanced technologies allows EATON to offer a wide variety of capacitor solutions tailored to specific applications. These PowerStor Supercapacitors feature high industrial temperature ranges, outstanding aging characteristics, high efficiency over the full product life, and a demonstrated operating life that exceeds 20 years.

The PowerStor Supercapacitors cells offer high energy and power in a standardized form factor. The terminal design is optimized for high reliability and low contact resistance. These supercapacitors capacitors also provide maximum energy savings and reduced running costs and eliminate the need for routine maintenance. The PowerStor Supercapacitors are used in alternate energy (solar and wind), medical (X-rays), computer (RAID storage and UPS), and industrial (elevators, forklifts, electric vehicles). These Supercapacitors come in small cylindrical (B, HB, HV, and TV), cylindrical packs (PB, PHB, PHV, and PM), coin cells (KR and KW), large cells (XB, XV, XT, and XL60), and module (XVM-16, XTM-18, XLM, XLR, and XVM PCBAs) variants.
