‘Ultracapacitor’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release TPLE ultracapacitor cells power hand-held devices from Tecate Industries, which we summarised at the time by saying "Tecate has added new products to the Powerburst range of cylindrical, radial leaded ultracapacitor cells to provide pulse and hold-up power in hand-held and portable devices using microprocessors.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Tecate ultracapacitors feature good power handling from Tecate Industries: "Tecate has announced the release of PBM Ultracapacitor Modules for powering, backing up or bridging power in a wide array of industrial electronics, telecommunications and military applications. ".
In July 2010, we covered the news from Tecate Industries - take a look at Ultracapacitor modules for military applications which says: "Tecate has announced the quick-turnaround availability of custom ultracapacitor modules engineered to accelerate the development of military ground-mobile, sea, and airborne products and systems.".
Take a look also at the news release from Tecate Industries, Tecate unveils Powerburst ultracapacitor modules , as well as Powerburst Type PC5 provides extended power from Tecate Industries, and Maxwell Technologies - latest company news from Maxwell Technologies.
