Install super farad capacitor

What are supercapacitors & EDLC?

Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors and electric double layer capacitors (EDLC), are capacitors with capacitance values greater than any other capacitor type available today. Supercapacitors are breakthrough energy storage and delivery devices that offer millions of times more capacitance than traditional capacitors.

What is the maximum capacitance a supercapacitor can provide?

The maximum capacitance that these capacitors can provide is 1 Farad. If the higher capacitance is required, the capacitors will need to be quite large, which may or may not fit into typical electronic circuits. Enter the supercapacitor.

What is a super capacitor?

For those of you who don't know much about super capacitors, here is a little bit of fun theory: Super capacitors act like any other kind of capacitor, only they can store tremendous amounts of energy. Many capacitors that you'd have seen in audio circuits have capacitances such as 470uf or 680uf (micro farads).

How do you measure capacitance of a supercapacitor?

Supercapacitors have such large capacitance values that standard measuring equipment cannot be used to measure the capacity of these capacitors. Capacitance is measured per the following method: Charge capacitor for 30 minutes at rated voltage. Discharge capacitor through a constant current load.
