Overview:
The Energy-type ultracapacitor product line gives industrial customers a much wider range of choices to meet
their energy storage and power delivery requirements. The cells are specifically engineered to provide cost-
effective solutions for UPS, telecommunications and other lighter duty industrial electronics applications.
In addition to meeting or exceeding demanding industrial application requirements for both watt-hours of energy
storage and watts of power delivery per kilogram, all of these products will perform reliably for more than one
million discharge-recharge cycles.
The proprietary architecture and material science of the BOOSTCAP® products enable continued leadership
in controlling costs, flexibility in product offerings and allow application specific performance tailoring. The cells
operate at 2.7 volts, enabling them to store more energy and deliver more power per unit volume than any other
commercially available ultracapacitor products.

Mounting Requirements:
Do not reverse polarity.
Maximum torque for M12 screw terminals is 10Nm.
Cells are designed to be connected into series or parallel strings.
Clean terminals so each are free of external contaminants and oxidation before mounting.
Do not mount cells in excessive axial tension or compression.
Do not apply bending torque to terminals of cells or on cell body during module assembly.
Avoid module configurations that apply static or dynamic bending forces on the terminals or
body of the cell.
When mounting cells horizontally support the cell body along its length in multiple locations.

Markings:
Capacitors are marked with the following information - Rated capacitance and rated voltage as well as ener-
gy/power type indication in the product naming. Serial number, name of manufacturer, positive and negative
terminal, warning marking.

(without limitation) the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness, for uses of its products as components in life support
devices or critical systems.
“Life support devices” are devices or systems, which (a) are intended for surgical implant into a living body, or (b) support or
sustain life, and whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance with the instructions provided in the labeling can
be reasonably expected to result in bodily injury to the user. An example of a life support device includes, but is not limited to, a
heart pacemaker.
A “critical system” is any system whose failure to perform can affect the safety or effectiveness of a higher level system, or cause
bodily or property injury by loss of control of the higher level device or system. An example of a critical system includes, but is
not limited to, aircraft avionics.
