Information and resources about Ultacapacitors.  A supercapacitor or ultracapacitor is an electrochemical capacitor that has an unusually high energy density when compared to common capacitors. They are of particular interest in automotive applications for hybrid vehicles and as supplementary storage for battery electric vehicles.  Wikipedia.  Ultracapacitors represent a game-changing technology that offers a trade-off with battery technology.
