Ioxus introduces electrochemical double layer capacitors

Ioxus, Inc., has launched a new family of large cell prismatic electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLC) for transportation and other applications. The firm said its 1,000-, 3,000- and 5,000-Farad (F) ultracapacitors are smaller in size with increased energy and power density compared to other products.

Ioxus said its EDLC products target high-power applications that require low-cost energy storage systems with long operating life. The EDLCs can be used as sole energy storage devices or be combined with other types of energy storage devices, such as batteries or fuel cells. In combinations, ultracapacitors expand the system’s charge and discharge capabilities into faster response times; extend the life of other, lower-power elements, and open up new options for energy storage applications. High power densities suit the EDLCs for applications where weight or volume is a concern.

Ioxus’ 1,000-, 3,000- and 5,000-F ultracapacitors are available at www.ioxus.com, starting at the following prices for low volume:

• 1,000F, 2.7V ultracapacitors – $62
• 3,000F, 2.7V ultracapacitors – $90
• 5,000F, 2.7V ultracapacitors – $175

In addition, Ioxus is offering the following new designer kits starting at $149:

• 1 – 2000F prismatic ultracapacitor
• 1 – 600F cylindrical screw terminal ultracapacitor
• 1 – 400F cylindrical screw terminal ultracapacitor
• 2 – 220F cylindrical snap-in terminal pseudo-capacitors
• 2 – 100F cylindrical snap-in terminal ultracapacitors

Ioxus is working towards an AS9100 and ISO-9001 certification to adhere to the most rigorous quality standards.
