The PC Series
Maxwell's UL recognized PC10 Ultracapacitors is ideal for consumer electronics, automotive subsystems, wireless transmission, medical devices, automatic meter readers, and many other applications requiring a pulse of energy that cannot be efficiently provided by a battery or power supply alone.
The PC10 works in tandem with batteries for applications that require both a constant low power discharge for continual function and a pulse power for peak loads. In these applications, the device relieves batteries of peak power functions resulting in an extension of battery life and a reduction of overall battery size and cost.
The PC10 is also an ideal source of back-up and pulse power. It can provide extended power availability, allowing critical information and functions to remain available during dips, sags, and outages in a power supply or battery change. And, like all BOOSTCAP products, the PC10 is capable of accepting charges at the identical rate of discharge.
