Regenerative braking allows a car to absorb kinetic energy during braking and release that energy during acceleration or hill climbing, reducing fuel consumption. This technique also takes most of the load off mechanical brakes, reducing brake maintenance and replacement expenses. In electric and hybrid vehicles, the power density of lithium-ion battery technology is often inadequate compared to the superior power output of ultracapacitors.
Our ultracapacitors can efficiently absorb energy from braking and provide superior power output compared to any competing technology.
Ultracapacitors work well in parallel with batteries by leveling power load during charge and discharge. This reduces the strain on the battery and prolongs battery life.
Unlike batteries, ultracapacitors can undergo millions of cycles without significant impact on performance, meaning ultracapacitors will be the last component in the system to require any maintenance.
