Ultracapacitors have been making the news of late but could they viably replace batteries in the EVs of the future?
This means that they are more suitable for higher energy density applications, or when a device needs to run for long periods on a single charge. Ultracapacitors have a much higherdensity than batteries. This makes them ideal for high-drain applications like powering an electric vehicle.
In addition, ultracapacitors have a much greater operating range than batteries. In fact, they beat batteries hands down in this area, as they can operate within ranges of betweenUltracapacitors can also be charged and discharged much more rapidly than batteries, usually within seconds, and are much more efficient at self-discharge than batteries.
Batteries, however, are a much better choice for applications that require constant, low current over time.As we have seen, ultracapacitors are best suited for situations where a lot of power is needed in a short span of time. In terms, this would mean they would have advantages over batteries when the vehicle needs bursts of energy - like during acceleration.
Mazda's i-ELOOP system also uses ultracapacitors to store energy during deceleration. The power stored is then used for the engine's stop-start systems.
