SCHURTER Coin Cell Supercapacitors

­Coin cell supercapacitors are compact electrochemical energy storage devices with a high capacity that can quickly store and release electrical energy. Compared to conventional batteries, they offer several advantages, including high power density, a long cycle life, and fast charge and discharge rates. 

Supercapacitors have around 10% of the energy density of rechargeable batteries of the same weight. However, their power density is ten to a hundred times greater. Supercapacitors can therefore be charged and discharged much faster. They can also withstand many more charging cycles than rechargeable batteries, making them suitable as a replacement or supplement wherever high switching loads are required.

The new coin cell supercapacitors are used in a variety of applications, including backup power supplies, electronic devices, renewable energy systems and medical devices. While they are most commonly used for real-time clock backup, they can also be used for memory backup, battery swap ride-through and LED or audible alarms. The new coin cell supercapacitors from SCHURTER are available for horizontal mounting (SCCA) or vertical mounting (SCCC). They can be used in systems with a voltage of up to 5.5 V and have a capacitance value ranging from 100 to 1,500 mF.
