S-Cap Boost is intended for industrial and medical applications, offering “a solution to equipment manufacturers requiring high energy peaks for short periods or emergency back-up purposes in applications where, due to safety regulations, lithium ion or acid batteries are not allowed”, said the firm, explaining: “critical applications operating in hostile or confined environments are strictly regulated in terms of chemical and other hazardous risks, reducing or forbidding certain type of batteries. For safety reasons, those applications must have a power backup long enough to run alarms and safety shutdown processes.”

The 2U example, the 29F-54V-60A, integrates 22 supercaps and can deliver full power for 5s or half power for 30s.
