machinery. Something i was not aware of...i knew Cap-xx had outside manufactures in Malaysia to manufacture their product. The future increase in manufacturing at Lane cove is due to the increase of the ip part of the supercap which is shipped out to Malaysia. So the proposed new machinery is for this....Cap-xx must have large orders to be filled of their products. " The Company will retain the high value-added and IP-critical material manufacture in-house. The existing facility in Sydney has the capability of supplying this material to manufacture over 1 million of these supercapacitors per month, with some additional capital expenditure" So expecting to be producing 1M supercaps a month!.

Considering the next expected news is likely to be AVX and the Prizmacap, The time difference of -8hrs then a intraday RNS is a strong possibility.

First thing to learn is never ask for advice, you will get conficting opinions and it will confuse you....be prepared to lose some or all of what you invest. Experience tends to come with a high price tag on aim.....GL with YOUR decision.

Will have to be at a later date cos its "hi ho" time.

I agree the applications for this tech are endless, i was thinking along the manufacturing process and all the safety requirements associated with the manufacture of batteries. i dont know what proportion will be supercap and what battery? i remember seeing somewhere that evaluation units had been sent to battery manufactures as well. My thoughts are there will be 3 parties involved in Automotive, Cap-xx,Tier-1 producer of the units and a supplier of the hybrid supercaps, the supplier of the hybrid supercaps (large devices) i am just wondering whether to narrow it down to a battery producer? Just my thoughts while i pass time waiting to go to work!

Cap-xx supercaps produce more power than its competitors but the same amount of energy. Automotive hybrid supercaps states DOUBLE THE ENERGY ..suggesting battery combo, if this is so does it narrow down our partners to battery producers?

Thanks for that reply ngninv. I have seen various articles, reports describing them as hybrid...but very little info. " CAP-XX's new hybrid supercapacitors will offer double the energy density. halving the cost." That exert is from this article but cannot read it... https://www.scribd.com/document/152888391/CAP-XX-Supercapacitors-for-Automotive-Applications-Website

a read if anyone interested....i read it but i admit i dont really understand it. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/advs.201600539

LARGE devices? (automotive) these are HYBRID supercaps...battery/supercap combination?. would Battery manufacturing facilities be required to produce these in mass production? AS always happy to be educated on these subjects if anyone as an opinion/answer.

According to what i read we have the best products on offer...independently tested. Should be no limits on the possibilities for Cap-xx....hopefully that means news next month...imo

a question yesterday as to why a poster had the opinion that AVX would be our automotive partner. No answer so as it got me intrigued i thought i would do a little digging...only clue i can find is an exert from Allenbys report... "in advanced negotiations with a North American Tier-1 component supplier for both large and SMALL devices"... Prizmacap maybe?

Ultracaps, ultracapacitors, goldcaps....just another name for supercapacitor. Same thing.

AVX auto partner? Considering they were struggling for manufacturing space for the Prizmacap and the volumes required should hopefully be massive where do they manufacture the supercaps? Interesting view can you give any reasons behind your thoughts? Thanks.

i did not say we would not get a Prizmacap launch, i just stated it has not happened yet... i was attempting to stress the huge time periods associated with these negotiations. Prizmacap will launch and hopefully soon...and will be bigger than many imagine.

yes we know that....actually they have only extended an existing factory...but that is news that everyone is aware of.

Now supposing AVX had only licensed Prismatic only...the Prizmacap trademark was filled 25/02/15.Reasonable assumption to believe that an agreement in principle with Cap-xx had been reached prior to this filling and yet still we have no product launch....When do you think the actual licence agreement (avx + cap-xx) would have been signed...my guess would be about Dec 2017!. These things obviously take time...i am of the opinion there are numerous agreements in principle on going, with contracts waiting to be signed very close to product launch.

its not hard to understand the delays...its called negotiations, on the one hand we have AK who knows what he has and will not part with it for less than its worth..on the other companies wanting, needing this tech but unwilling to part with the �ms of up front fees and royalties...and then when they have to (which is inevitable) they will want to do so as near to launch of their product as possible for a quick return on investment.. While the delays are frustrating its normal...its also your decision how long you you are prepared to wait. it will be a while before i start worrying...although i became frustrated months ago.

https://www.whitecase.com/publications/insight/battery-supply-chain-unique-growth-opportunity Growing shortage of battery materials, replacement or downsizing with supercaps. However you look at the future for this tech...its all good! Accumulate and hold!

The LV148 standard has already been applied in some 2017 models. Any designer considering a 48 volt design should start by referring to this specification. It describes all relevant electrical requirements and test procedures for the new 48 volt components. https://www.digikey.co.uk/en/articles/techzone/2017/feb/design-considerations-for-dual-voltage-automotive-power-systems Was hoping this standard would be compulsory and maybe Cap-xx part of it...But appears to be guidelines for the standard...if that makes sense. BUT it appears supercaps are an important part of this standard.
