Space matters.
Don’t waste it on supercapacitors when our alternative placement options exist to improve your design.
It pays well to make batteries last.
Supercapacitors are useful for improving battery operating life and can replace them all together with energy harvesting devices like solar cells. The challenge is finding space for them without giving up other features. We make that part easy.

Internet of Things
There are 125 billion battery powered IoT devices by 2030. Do you want to be responsible for replacing them when they wear out? Supercapacitors can go a long way in improving battery performance, extending their operating life to save money.

Wearables
AR/VR is growing in popularity, but are often tethered to some power source due to their short runtimes. Making use of flexible supercapacitors and energy harvesting devices can have a dramatic impact, even doubling the runtimes of wearable products like this.

Energy Harvesting
Solar cells deliver energy to a load, kind of like a battery. The major difference being that the amount of energy depends on the amount of light available. Yet, solar cells never need to be recharged and pairing them with supercapacitors can be powerful.

Power Supplies
Have you ever notice that there are large bricks connected to just about every laptop and phone charger? They are also in the power cords for game consoles and computers. About 33% of the space inside the brick is used by capacitors. We can make them smaller.
Our flexible supercapacitor modules enable new placement options that take up less circuit board real estate to miniaturize designs and complement batteries.

Save money with fewer battery replacements
Before
For example, this product from Analog Devices uses supercapacitors as a backup power source. The supercapacitors are by far the largest component on the board.
After
Without changing the circuit, we replaced these supercapacitors with an equivalent flexible alternative coiled under the circuit board. The size of the enclosure was reduced by a factor of 2.
Discrete.
The flexible form factor of our products allows it to be bent inside small product enclosures or distributed across other parts with wiring components. This can make your circuit or enclosure smaller than your competitors.
Save money.
A battery may not seem expensive at first, but that changes when that battery needs to be replaced every 2.5 years. For an IoT system with 500 battery powered devices, our products paired with energy harvesting devices can save up to $15,500 per decade while improving performance.
Expand.
Power is key in range, function, and reliability. Turning on inductive loads, data transmission, and rapid response backup power all require storage devices with low internal resistance and high power density.
