Maxwell Unveils New “Quick-Turn” BOOSTCAP® Ultracapacitor Module Program

Maxwell Technologies, Inc. unveiled a new "Quick-Turn" BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitor module program that offers shipment within 14 days of receipt of a customer purchase order for custom-configured multi-cell energy storage, and power delivery solutions for systems requiring up to 540 volts.

Michael Everett, Maxwell's vice president and chief technology officer, said that custom Quick-Turn modules based on the BCAP2600 2,600-farad Energy and Power cells are immediately available, and that additional options based on the entire MC family of products, ranging from 650 to 3,000 farads will be phased in, beginning in the third quarter. Quick-Turn module pricing will be quoted on a fixed fee basis for quantities of one to five units.

Maxwell also offers a complete line of standard, 15- to 48-volt multi-cell packs and modules based on the company's Power- and Energy-type ultracapacitor cells. Both standard and Quick-Turn modules are encased in rugged, splash-proof aluminum chassis and include internal cell balancing that give designers "plug and play" solutions, plus module-to-module balancing that makes them versatile building blocks for systems with higher voltage requirements.
