| But, unlike in a normal capacitor, that static relies, in part, on ions from the electrolyte that are attracted to these surfaces when the supercapacitor is charged up. |
| A further advantage of this supercapacitor is that it can discharge its electric energy to the electric motor within a few milliseconds for instant and stunning acceleration. |
| How long such a supercapacitor would function for remains to be seen. |
| This, too, combines the benefits of a lead-acid battery with those of a supercapacitor, but in a different way: it splits the negative electrode in two, with one part made of lead and the other of carbon. |
| In a supercapacitor, as in a normal capacitor, energy is stored on the surfaces of materials in the form of static electricity. |
| The agreement enables Saft to add new supercapacitor technology to its portfolio of leading edge battery technologies. |
