The use of ultra capacitors in Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) provides benefits beyond today’s systems that use conventional battery back-up.  Tecate offers many ultra capacitor cells with  values ranging from 100 mF to up to 3000F cells.  As these cell voltages are low, on the order of 2.5 to 2.7V, it is necessary to connect in series or series/parallel.  Tecate Group has engineers on staff who can work with designers to develop custom ultracapacitor modules to meet unique electrical and mechanical system requirements, through innovative circuit and packaging proposals.  Read more on ultra capacitors and UPS in the link below.

Ultracapacitors are finding their way into a myriad of new applications, where they provide a longterm reliable source of short term back-up power in environments that do not lend themselves to the maintenance demands,  and disposal requirements, of batteries.  Tecate Group provides a variety of ultracapacitor cells and modules, both custom and standard, that can open the door to designers looking for non battery power back-up.  See complete article link below.

The world of mobile handsets are becoming more power hungry as new features are added. Batteries are the backbone of the main energy source in these applications, but they cannot satisfy all the power demands. Today Supercapacitors or Ultracapacitors are becoming a tandem partner of batteries in these applications. Tecate Group offers a variety of low profile ultracapacitor cells and modules geared to the mobile handheld arena. These Powerburst products can be used in tandem with Li-ion batteries to satisfy the power requirements of many applications including smart phones and other consumer products.

Batteries have always showed a limitation when it comes to power. One solution that has worked and is currently being investigated is the combination of batteries with ultracapacitors. Tecate Group offers a wide variety of ultracapacitor products ranging from several farad to several thousand of farads. These PowerBurst® products can be used individually or in custom modules to fit any battery voltage desired for a variety of applications ranging from hybrid vehicles to AMR, RAID controllers and consumer electronics.

As ultracapacitor technology continues to move forward the breadth of applications continues to expand.  Tecate Group offers standard and custom PowerBurst® ultracapacitor cells and modules to support applications as diverse as providing seconds of back-up for a RAID controller that needs to save critical information from volatile to non-volatile memory, in the event of a power loss, to large modules using Tecate’s patented integration system, using the Maxwell Boostcap® ultracapacitor cells,  that range from 650-3000F.  These large modules are especially effective in cold engine start applications, where battery performance is dramatically diminished.  For more on ultracapacitors please refer to the link below:

Ultracapacitors offer the unique ability to provide power to portable devices almost instantaneously. These power delivery capabilities are forecast to change the future landscape of how we charge all our tiny gadgets….. wirelessly!  CAP-XX and PowerBurst® super capacitors sold through Tecate Group,  are already used in several portable electronic gadgets and wireless remote sensing applications and are well positioned to support the trend toward the use of super capacitors, in conjunction with inductive technology,  to charge devices wirelessly over short distances.  For the complete story follow the below link:

"Ultracapacitors are super high capacity versions of electric capacitor components that store energy in an electric field. These are devices that have raised the “capacity” of a capacitor so high that ultracapacitors or “supercapacitors” are now thought of as energy storage devices that can replace batteries in some applications. They are available in various cylindrical, square, and flat shapes and sizes. With increasing production volumes and economies of scale, their prices can be competitive with batteries."
