New 3000 farad 3 Volt BCAP3000 Capacitor ☈

Image
New for 2016 is the most powerful addition to Maxwell Technologies’ K2 family of supercapacitors. Maxwell now bring us an even more powerful 3-volt and 3000-farad cell ultracapacitor. Being Maxwell’s first 3-volt cell capacitor it meets the same typical life performance criteria as the 2.7-volt cell, with the added benefit of increased power capability with an 31% increase over the 2.7-volt cell and a healthy 16% increase over the 2.85-volt cell ultra capacitor. The 3000F 3.0V model goes by the name BCAP3000 P300 K04 and the bulk price for these capacitors new are around $60 each with the usual order of 15 capacitors.

Features and specifications: • Long lifetime of several hundred thousand cycles • Fast charging with high currents and very high discharge currents • Resistant against reverse polarity • Ultra-low internal resistance • Environmentally friendly • Low weight and volume • Shock- and vibration-proof BOOSTCAP Ultracapacitor BCAP0010 BCAP0010 BOOSTCAP Ultracapacitors provide extended power availability, allowing critical information and functions to remain available during dips, sags, and outages in the main power source. In addition, it can relieve batteries of burst power functions, thereby reducing costs and maximizing space and energy efficiency. The ultracapacitor features a cylindrical design and an electrostatic storage capability that can cycle hundreds of thousands of charges and discharges without performance degradation. With a capacitance of 2600 farads at 2.5 volts, and in a cylindrical 60 x 172 mm package, Maxwell's BCAP0010 ultracapacitor is ideal for au...

The Best Capacitors for Audio Systems 2013

I have found that caps have different sounds. And the sound you get depends on several issues. Additionally, I have found that if you count the number of capacitors inline with the signal, you will find that the less capacitors have the more the influence they have with the sound. I have only two caps in the signal path (this is excluding those in the power supplies). One is in the output of the CD/DVD player while the other capacitor is on in the tube amps. If you change either of these capacitors it will give you a different effect on the final sound. If you have many capacitors, changing one may not have a profound change in the sound. However, I have modded many car stereos all of which use cheap electo types for signal passing and changing them all to film types will improve the sound greatly. I have experimented with scores of capacitors in my system and some capacitors will sound similar, but from top to bottom on the capacitor scale you will find that sound diff...

☈ Ultra Capacitors VS Car Battery ☈

Image
Unlike ordinary capacitors, batteries store energy in a chemical reaction. And because of this the ions are actually inserted into the atomic structure of an electrode. If we take your ordinary capacitor or super capacitors that can be seen below for that matter, the ions simply "cling". This is an important thing and the key factor behind the success of storing and releasing electricity in capacitors because storing energy without chemical reactions allows ultra capacitors to charge up and discharge much, much faster than normal batteries. And because the capacitors does not suffer from wear caused by chemical reactions like oxidizing like in lead batteries or ageing like in new lithium-ion batteries, means they also last a lot longer. Normally if you would  drain a car battery too much and try to start the car afterwards even when it's nearly empty it will cause more damage to the car battery. Eventualy because of this the battery will not take charge and...
