There are basically two main application
categories for which the supercapacitors are
interesting:
1) the high power
applications for which the batteries have a too high series resistance
2) the maintenance free applications which cant' be provided by the batteries.
Due to the high power density, the supercapacitors are predestined for existing
and new applications in the automotive engineering, railway
traction, telecommunication systems, industrial, medical and consumer electronics.
The following examples give an overview of the different possibilities.
