Tecate Group announces the introduction of its new family of hybrid lithium-ion capacitors (LICs), with a maximum rated voltage of 3.8V. The TPLC™ series incorporates the key benefits of batteries (increased voltage and energy density) while maintaining the traditional characteristics of ultracapacitors (rapid charge/discharge, environmental friendliness, longevity, and safety). The TPLC™ series features a mechanically robust cylindrical footprint with a compact profile, increased maximum rated voltage of 3.8V—one and a half times higher than the 2.7V of conventional ultracapacitors—and an energy density four to ten times greater than current comparably sized ultracapacitor-based technology.
