Supercapacitors tolerate high
temperatures
CAP-XX supercapacitors pack the highest energy and power densities into thin, lightweight, prismatic packages that will fit into slim portable devices.
CAP-XX' HS and HW series supercapacitors feature a higher-boiling-point electrolyte that extends operating and storage temperature from 75C to 85C and operating voltages from 4.5 to 5.5V These supercapacitors work reliably in devices where nearby components can get very hot, such as RF power amplifiers, which can reach 120C during transmission, as well as in devices which are exposed to high environmental temperatures, such as a mobile phone left on the dashboard of a car in direct sunlight, or in the engine compartment in an automotive application
