1. Surge Voltage ½VR

Absolute maximum voltage, non-repetitive. Duration not to exceed 1 second. I= ∆t / C + ESRDC

2. “Typical” values represent mean values of production sample. where Δt is the discharge time (sec); Δt = 1 sec in this case.

3. Rated Capacitance & ESRDC (measure method) • The stated maximum peak current should not be used in normal operation
• Capacitance: Constant current charge (10 mA/F) to VR, 5 min hold at VR, and is only provided as a reference value.
constant current discharge 10 mA/F to 0.1V.
e.g. in case of 2.7V 5F cell, 10 * 5 = 50 mA 6. Energy & Power (Based on IEC 62391-2)
• ESRDC: Constant current charge (10 mA/F) to VR, 5 min hold at VR, constant ½CVR2
current discharge (40 * C * VR[mA]) to 0.1 V. • Maximum Stored Energy, Emax(Wh) = 3,600
e.g. in case of 2.7V 5F cell, charge with 10 * 5 = 50 mA and discharge with 40 * Emax
5 * 2.7 = 540 mA • Gravimetric Specific Energy (Wh/kg) = mass
0.12VR2
• Usable Specific Power (W/kg) = ESRDC x mass
0.25VR2
• Impedance Match Specific Power (W/kg) = ESRDC x mass

• Presented Power and Energy values are calculated based on Rated

where C is the capacitance (F); 8. Temperature Rise at Constant Current

I is the absolute value of the discharge current (A); • ∆T=IRMS2 x ESRDC x Rth
VR is the rated voltage (V);
V1 is the measurement start voltage, 0.8ⅹVR (V); where ∆T: Temperature rise over ambient (°C)
V2 is the measurement end voltage, 0.4ⅹVR (V); IRMS: Maximum continuous or RMS current (A)
t1 is the time from start of discharge to reach V1 (s); Rth: Thermal resistance, cell to ambient (°C/W)
t2 is the time from start of discharge to reach V2 (s); ESRDC: Rated (Max.) ESRDC(Ω).
ESRDC is the DC-ESR (Ω); (Note: Design should consider EOL ESRDC for application temperature rise
ΔV is the voltage drop during first 10ms of discharge (V).
