HI Kastel,Maxwell Technologies MXWL has made a giant leap forward by providing....

easy-to-integrate energy storage and power delivery solutions for a wide range of consumer and industrial electronics and transportation applications.

This means that for $200.00 you can mount one of these in your car a simple positive and negative connection to existing battery and prabably extend the life of your battery for the life of your car or if battery fails replace it with one half the size.It does this by storing electrical energy in the ultracapacitor and releasing it to the starter on startup..the battery is not taken down deeply every time the car is started therefore extendingthe life of the battery.The alternator in the car charges up the ultracapacitor for the next heavy draw, namely starting and these ultracapacitors can be cycled hundreds of thousands of times.
I have had contact with Maxwell over the last few months regarding obtaining ultracapacitors for my solar system but was discouraged because it was not practical, as would have had to ballance them, and make a holder etc.....now this is plug and play..to me this is a breakthrough in "practical" energy storage for short, high output duration.My initial order is in for the $200.00 module.I am waiting for a similar announcement from VRB which we talked about on another thread.As usual the market hasn't noticed yet ..I can wait.
