Forgot to post the link. http://www.bestmag.co.uk/content/volkswagen-stand-alone-48v-battery-mild-hybrids-too-complex LV-148 standard? still relevant?

"In 2011, the five major German OEMs, Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler, Opel and Ford-Werke have agreed on the 48V development scheme �LV-148� in which the 48V level and test procedures are specified. The German Association of the Automotive Industry (Verband der Automobilindustrie) defined the initiative as a standard in December 2013. But progress has been slower than expected and the initiative is looking for more OEMs as well as Tier 1 automotive suppliers, to work with." Progress slower than expected...heard that before!

"High energy hybrids (twice the energy) to leap-frog the established competition in markets for large cells/modules (e.g. automotive)" The competition being Maxwell! http://slideplayer.com/slide/2497545/

i know this weeks winning lottery numbers but because you have all been naughty boys today i,m not going to post them.

"According to VW, 20 per cent of the electric energy required will be generated from the I.D R's regenerative braking technology." https://www.carsguide.com.au/oversteer/vw-takes-the-covers-off-its-pikes-peak-challenger-68682 20% sounds impressive....wonder if they had some help from some supercap experts to accomplish that? A date to keep an eye on....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdZblAKmbxc This as always intrigued me, i know its old and i dont know how much is still relevant At 5;43 she says "theres the big car company" , did she let something slip, maybe a remark caused by pre interview conversation...i have listened numerous times and at no point is there a mention for her to quote this. AK also states automotive ndas in place....i,m presuming the "automotive products" mentioned are the 48v +12v little black boxes? Anyone agree or disagree?

Only a matter of when not if. Testing of typical use case on a mobile device-- consumed 6W 40 seconds 40W 10 second-cycle�reveals the advantage of combining supercaps with a battery. The battery was drained of its energy in 0.4 hours but when a supercap was added, the system run time was improved to 2.12 hours, marking a 400 percent increase by limiting the battery discharge to a 1C rate. The bottom line is that supercapacitors provide improved battery performance in mobile devices in compelling ways: � Effectiveness of adding supercapacitors to a Li-Ion battery has been shown for multiple power profiles. � Duty cycle and peak-to-baseline power profile are critical to the value of adding supercapacitors. � Supercapacitors offer a cost effective and volume effective way to significantly extend run time. � Supercapacitors are a long life, high power device capable of repeated high current charge/discharge.

Heres another old post regarding truckstart and a bit of an excuse for the longer than anticipated adoption of Cap-xx tech. http://www.truckinginfo.com/blog/on-the-road/story/2013/06/building-a-better-electric-mousetrap.aspx

"The two main requirements for smart meter back-up are (1) that the source is capable of turning on instantaneously; and (2) that it works at low temperatures, because meters are typically installed outdoors. Supercapacitors excel in both requirements as they react immediately, allowing the meter to transmit an alert as well as status and usage information to the network." In conjunction with the recent podcast relating to Prizmacap and smart meters...explains the increased temp range of the Prizmacap. "Until recently, the supercapacitor market has grown largely at the expense of conventional capacitors. Currently, the technology seems ready to invade the lithium-ion battery market share for smart phones and other devices that perform multiple functions more or less simultaneously, and therefore, have similar spiky power-to-available-energy profiles." https://www.mouser.co.uk/applications/new-supercapacitor-applications/ "Until recently, supercapacitors were relegated to fairly mundane applications such as memory protection and internal battery backup, but in the last few years the application space has broadened significantly into hybrid vehicles, smartphones, and energy harvesting. New technologies on the horizon promise to bring supercapacitors into full competition with rechargeable batteries." No idea how old this article is.....but all credit to AK ......excellent foresight, we just need a little more patience.

Yes its good to be corrected than be in ignorance....so thanks.

OS your maths are better than mine...cant even blame the beer i was sober. Increase in revenues crossed my mind as well but Allenbys forecasts are not exactly accurate or even any where near so just dismissed them.

royalty payments are 5% of sales therefore to exceed the �65k fixed we need Avx sales of �1.3m. To exceed the first years payment of �1.26m we need sales of �25.2m or above. but please check my maths cos i only managed grace c o level lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbDYmvRAqgA 3:53 onwards. minimum of �65k fixed qtrly or 5% of sales whichever is the greater.

Thank you Welsh, good answer.

licensing negotiations with numerous parties across multiple sectors (including wearable,health,building management,automotive,security,metering and energy management).....taken from Allenby report. All sounds very promising but can anyone explain why (automotive excluded) why they would want to license Cap-xx tech with the fees involved rather than just place an order via Murata/AVX/Mouser etc? Many thanks.

Taken from highlights of recent interims " First large volume cylindrical can order was shipped late in the reporting period" Also taken from interims tucked away in Chairmans statement "Within the last twelve months, the Company released cylindrical cells and the end customer and distributor feedback has been positive. Several significant high-volume opportunities for these cylindrical products are being evaluated and material shipments commenced during the last three months." is this a large order or just sample evaluation units being shipped? Sounds like samples to me.

i only know because i googled it! Cheers Fredd1e.
