What is the advantage of using a super capacitor or ultra capacitor?
There are a number of advantages: They are made completely of non-toxic components. They can be recharged over 30,000 times (most rechargeable batteries get about 500 recharges). They can take a charge very quickly and they store energy well. They also operate much better at higher and lower temperatures than batteries do. So the overall advantage is that you get an ultra-fast charging energy storage unit that will last many years longer than a rechargeable battery without the toxicity of any chemicals. Supercapacitors and LEDs represent a new technology in flashlights that eliminate the need for any replacement batteries or bulbs.
