Quick Turn Ultracapacitor Modules from MAXWELL TECHNOLOGIES Reduce Development Time

Maxwell Technologies, available through Glyn High-Tech Distribution, announces the availability of its Quick Turn ultracapacitor modules to jumpstart the design, prototyping and development of power systems using Maxwell’s ultracapacitor technology.

Quick Turn modules are available with a 14-day turn-around and use standard Maxwell BOOSTCAP® Ultracapacitor MC family cells, ranging from 650 to 3,000 farads. Limitless form factor are available with up to 270 volts per module. The Quick Turn proto-typing modules possess the same award winning features as Maxwell’s production modules including cell balancing, voltage monitoring, and temperature sensing outputs.

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.
