![PureeChem 6V/5F supercap: Small amount of energy but fast response time and 500K lifetime cycles](https://fhi.nl//app/uploads/news/50978e051cede050fcb3b4ffd0a3870d-01950ae70da548fe1567c96b2297265ba4616c63-pureechemsupercap-1.png)
It’s not a battery, it’s a supercap. It’s not chemical, it’s physical . Supercaps do not have the same energy density as a battery, so it’s not intended to replace a battery. It has some interesting advantages like speed, a lot of charge/discharge cycles and lower long term system cost.
Many applications need the power density of batteries but also the speed, longer charge holding time or increased number of cycles. Therefore a hybrid system can be very useful to combine both batteries and supercaps.
The supercaps provide the quick burst of energy, while the batteries handle the long-term energy needs. This hybrid solution of Pureechem can provide sufficient power and speed to maintain data communication prior to system’s complete shutdown.
