Supercapacitors are beginning to displace batteries in high-power applications. Enercon, for example, is using a bank of supercaps to power the pitch change mechanism of blades in its 48m diameter ...

Offered as high-power, long-life alternatives to batteries in consumer, industrial, and transportation applications, 15V BOOSTCAP packs and modules integrate six 350-Farad BCAP0350 flashlight ...

I'm replacing the batteries in an older APC 1250 UPS. When you open the thing up, it's not just a matter of plugging the new batteries in, you actually have to unscrew bare wires from the battery ...

The industry has long been bemoaning batteries as the one thing holding back a more spectacular evolution of the electric vehicles. The Li-ion solution that's widely used at the moment makes steady ...

High performance batteries (especially Li ion or nickel metal hydride accumulators) are a substantial element of the power supply in space systems. The capacity and reversibility of rechargeable ...

At a 2011 Cleantech Forum in San Francisco, Tesla CEO Elon Musk was quoted saying that the future of electric vehicles wouldn't be powered by lithium-ion, If I were to make a prediction, I'd think ...

When it comes to storing energy, batteries aren’t always the ideal medium. While they typically discharge energy in predictable, linear fashion, batteries can be slow to charge and slow to discharge.

When Tesla’s Elon Musk first came to Silicon Valley he was researching advanced, highly-energy-dense super-capacitors at Stanford. Coincidentally, when speaking at the Cleantech Forum in San Francisco ...

Does your laptop battery die out right before you hit send on that important email? With scientists at MIT, Intel and other facilities researching microstructures (i.e. micro- or nano-scale pieces of ...

Rivian recently faced a flurry of dying 12-volt batteries on its vehicles, last time because of a botched software update. This must have caused the EV startup a lot of money because it decided to ...
