    Supercapacitors combine the energy-storage capability of batteries with

the rapid charge and discharge times of conventional capacitors. They

handle the large instantaneous power demands inherent in flash photos,

playing audio and video, and wireless transmissions, enabling new

functionality and extending battery life.



    Utilizing breakthrough nanotechnology processes, CAP-XX supercapacitors

are the smallest and thinnest available today for any given ESR and

capacitance. They pack high energy and power densities into thin prismatic

packages suitable for use in slim, portable electronic devices such as

camera phones, PDAs, digital cameras and multimedia players.
