Maxwell K2 Series 3V Ultracapacitors

Maxwell Technologies Inc. announces the addition of a 3V, 3,000-farad ultracapacitor cell to its K2 family.

• Provides 31% higher power than Maxwell's leading 2.7V, 3,000-farad cell in the industry-standard 60 mm cylindrical form factor
• Incorporates Maxwell's proprietary DuraBlue Advanced Shock and Vibration Technology to provide three times the vibrational resistance and four times the shock immunity of previous ultracapacitor-based competitive offerings
• Offers maximized lifespan in demanding transportation environments such as onboard rail, hybrid bus and other applications
• Existing K2 2.7 and 2.85V customers can seamlessly upgrade systems using the industry-standard 60 mm cylindrical cell format while maintaining the same life performance criteria as our 2.7V cells
• Can be used alone or in hybrid configurations with batteries to help reduce overall cost and weight of systems and support attaining operational efficiencies
• Operating temperature range is -40-65 C (-40-149 F)
• Stores energy in electrical field to provide greater storage capacity than batteries
• Electrostatic energy storage mechanism enables rapid charge and discharge
