FAQS 4

Why do we have 3 super capacitors in series?

The reason for having 3 super capacitors in series is to have higher charging voltage for longer hold-up time. Pre-charge current (ipre-charge) and fast-charge (ifast-charge) current are set by 1.2A and 2A respectively targeting 7.2 V charging voltage (VCHG).

Should a supercapacitor be connected in series?

For applications where the supercapacitor needs to be charged to more than 2.5V or 2.7V, engineers are forced to connect multiple supercapacitors in series as the standard supercapacitor voltage is rated to 2.7V and they are of lower cost.

How to balance voltage across a supercapacitor?

1. Voltage balancing with balance resistors/passive method The simple and most cost-effective way to balance the voltages across the supercapacitors is to connect resistors of equal value across each supercapacitor. As the resistor is connected permanently across supercapacitors, the power dissipation in the resistors will be continuous.

What happens if a supercapacitor is reversed charged?

If reversed charged after prolonged charging in one direction, the life of the supercapacitor may be shortened. The standard temperature rating for Eaton supercapacitors is –25 °C to +70 °C. Temperature in combination with voltage can affect the lifetime of a supercapacitor.
