CAP-XX specialises in supercapacitors. They’re already an essential component for many everyday electrical devices. CAP-XX plans to become the go to brand for supercapacitors.
Capacitors themselves are not a new invention. In fact, they’re one of the most common electrical components around and are used to store small amounts of electricity within a circuit. Supercapacitors can hold a lot more energy; a bit like a rechargeable battery but with the added benefits that they charge much quicker and last longer.
CAP-XX’s team of scientists have spent years experimenting with new materials and manufacturing techniques, trying to create a new generation of supercapacitors. The results have been impressive, giving CAP-XX a distinct competitive edge. It’s now able to produce supercapacitors which are smaller, more powerful and cheaper than other manufacturers.
Because of their ability to extend battery life and speed up recharging times, supercapacitors are becoming increasingly popular with the manufacturers of all kinds of electronic devices. They are:-
Commercial – Uses here include automotive solutions (such as start-stop technology and powering electric cars), location trackers, medical devices, back up electricity supplies and point of sale terminals
Consumer – eBooks, toys, digital music players, notebook PCs, digital cameras
Wireless – Smartphones, tablets, PDAs, smart credit cards, routers
As more and more electronic devices continue to become connected wirelessly (via the ever expanding ‘Internet of Things’) the demand for supercapacitors will accelerate.
Electronics manufacturers strive to create smaller, lighter and more portable devices, the space constraints on components are becoming tighter. This is where CAP-XX really comes into its own! Its Thinline’ range are the lightest and thinnest (0.6 mm) supercapacitors on the market, making them perfect for electronic devices such as phones, tablets, laptops where space is at a premium. Of course, the extra battery life is a big plus too. They are particularly exciting because they can be used in ultra-thin electronic devices.
CAP-XX's 3V thin prismatic cells are suitable for slim form factor applications, that can be connected directly across a 3V battery. This has reduced cost and space and extends battery run time, resulting in very good power and energy density, and low leakage current so as not to excessively drain battery charge. To achieve the 3V operation, CAP-XX developed new materials and production techniques. Mass production is scheduled and larger 3V prismatic supercapacitors and 3V automotive modules are planned.
CAP-XX spends about 60% of its revenue on R&D. Keeping its technology ahead of the competition is essential for its success. It recognises the importance of protecting its intellectual property and does so with an ever expanding portfolio of 45 granted patents.
CAP-XX have 4 licences with Murata, AVX, TDK and Cornell Dubilier E
