Seoul, South Korea — Nesscap Co., Ltd. announced today that it has introduced a ‘New Family’ of ultracapacitor cylindrical cells that meet or exceed market requirements for truly reliable and robust performance over the life of the application.

The five new cells range in capacitance from 650 farads to 3000 farads with operating voltage of 2.7 volts and standard screw or welded terminal connections. The lightweight compact design, world class energy density, patented leakage protection and superior shock, rotation and vibration safeguards set new standards for the industry. Long term development by Nesscap in the patented technology of this family of cells will speed the introduction of additional products from Nesscap and provide an easy integration pathway into both Nesscap standard modules as well as custom modules for a variety of applications.

Dr. M. Cho, Nesscap’s president and chief executive officer, said that the new cells were developed and engineered specifically to address two foundational challenges that effect overall performance and life of ultracapacitors.

“High cycling applications that require the lowest equivalent series resistance (ESR) with the highest efficiency and the real application challenges of severe shock, rotation and vibration that are critical to all motive applications,” Cho said. “After extensive testing and validation, we believe our internal patented construction will set a new standard in the industry and address the foundational challenges while providing a simple and tested pathway to design engineers for integration into their energy storage requirements.”

Nesscap has been committed to manufacturing quality product for many years and this new ‘family’ of cells was developed with that heritage in mind. We are confident that Nesscap ultracapacitors will remain as the alternative energy storage solution of choice, to current battery technologies. “As you know we have TS 16949 ISO Certification in place and with these new cells, we now have a stronger foundation to sustain multiple automotive development programs,” Cho said. “Nesscap is well positioned for our move to the next level in supplying production ready solutions for this market as well as many others.”

Representative market applications for these new products include, multiple hybrid platforms for automobiles, buses, trucks and trains, industrial telecommunications buffering and back up as well as windmill shaving and large solar energy systems. Global demand for ultracapacitor based energy and power delivery solutions continues to grow rapidly and Nesscap is committed to providing products that exceed both watt hours of energy storage and watt hours of power delivery per kilogram and will perform reliably for more then one million charge and discharge cycles.

Nesscap is a global leader in technology innovation and product development of ultracapacitors. We feature the widest array of standard commercial products in the market from 3 farads to 5000 farads with industry recognized alternative organic electrolytes. Our Nesscap products are available in both cells and modules for the transportation, power and consumer markets.
