Ultracapacitors Take You Beyond Batteries

Ioxus Inc., with the only fully integrated ultracapacitor design and manufacturing facility in North America, brings the highest standards and most flexible problem-solving methods to power delivery solutions. Ioxus ultracapacitors use a proprietary electrode design to deliver the highest power density available. We are also one of the few companies in the world to offer a lithiumion hybrid ultracapacitor that stores more than twice the energy of a standard EDLC. Our ultracapacitors are capable of more than a million cycles, yet weigh only onefifth as much as a battery of comparable physical size. Ultracapacitors deliver power at the point of demand and increase the life of other storage devices when used in hybrid energy systems. Ioxus also manufactures a line of hybrid capacitors for applications that demand higher energy density with high cycle life.

Ideal Ultracapacitor Applications: •T ransportation – Micro/mild/EV/PHEV Hybrid vehicles including buses, trucks, automobiles, and rail for start/stop, energy capture/ regeneration, cold temperature performance and other applications. •R enewable Power – Ultracapacitors are becoming the default energy storage method for wind mill blade pitch control due to high power, light weight, high cycle life, low maintenance, and cost. • I ndustrial Equipment – Power tools, motor start, peak shaving, power quality, and actuation systems, utilizing ultracapacitors’ quick charging with high cycle life for increased machine performance, reliability and longer life. •C ommercial – Ioxus hybrid ultracapacitors are ideal for commercial and medical LED applications requiring higher energy density, quick recharge, extra energy and high cycle life.

However, in some applications, it’s better to add ultracapacitors rather than replace batteries. By combining the two, we pair the best features of a battery with the unique advantages of an ultracapacitor to create the most efficient and lasting energy storage system possible. Using our standard modules as building blocks, we can tailor an energy storage system that combines your preferred batteries with Ioxus ultracapacitors to maximize energy, power and life. And if you think you can’t afford it, ask yourself how often you replace batteries and what your current total cost of ownership is for cycling applications. Ultracapacitors don’t compete on a watt-hour basis with a traditional battery, but when you consider power or kilowatts, ultracapacitors beat the cost of any battery chemistry. Now look at watt hours over a lifetime of cycles, and ultracapacitors are several times more cost effective than batteries.

Rethink Power ®:

Ultracapacitors Take You Beyond Batteries Ultracapacitors deliver much higher power density than batteries. They offer very efficient, symmetric recharge and discharge capability to maximize energy capture and use, and operate effectively over a wider temperature range. Ultracapacitors: • Are capable of delivering high power instantly to mitigate spikes or sags. • Operate from -40°C to +65°C. • Can cycle 1 million times. • Are virtually maintenance-free.

Try that with a battery.
