Maxwell Technologies unveiled a Quick-Turn Boostcap ultracapacitor module program that offers shipment within 14 days of receipt a customer purchase order for custom-configured multi-cell energy storage and power delivery solutions for systems requiring up to 540 volts. The modules based on the BCAP2600 2,600-farad Energy and Power cells are immediately available, and that additional options based on the entire MC family of products, ranging from 650 to 3,000 farads will be phased in, beginning in the third quarter. Quick-Turn module pricing will be quoted on a fixed fee basis for quantities of one to five units. The company also offers a line of standard, 15- to 48-volt multi-cell packs and modules based on the company’s Power- and Energy-type ultracapacitor cells.

Both standard and Quick-Turn modules are encased in rugged, splash-proof aluminum chassis and include internal cell balancing that give designers “plug and play” solutions, plus module-to-module balancing that makes them versatile building blocks for systems with higher voltage requirements. All cells with a capacitance of 650 farads or greater operate at 2.7 volts, enabling them to store more energy and deliver more power per unit volume than any other commercially available ultracapacitor products.
