Surge Voltage
Absolute maximum voltage, non-repetitive. Duration not to exceed 1 second.
2.
“Typical” values represent mean values of production sample.
3.
Rated Capacitance & ESRDC (measure method)
• Capacitance: Constant current charge (10 mA/F) to VR, 5 min hold at VR,
constant current discharge 10 mA/F to 0.1V.
e.g. in case of 2.7V 360F cell, 10 * 360 = 3,600 mA.
• ESRDC: Constant current charge (10 mA/F) to VR, 5 min hold at VR, constant
current discharge (40 * C * VR[mA]) to 0.1 V.
e.g. in case of 2.7V 360F cell, charge with 10 * 360 = 3,600 mA and discharge
with 40 * 360 * 2.7 = 38,880 mA.
I=

∆t / C + ESRDC
where Δt is the discharge time (sec); Δt = 1 sec in this case
• The stated maximum peak current should not be used in normal operation
and is only provided as a reference value.

8.
Temperature Rise at Constant Current
• ∆T=IRMS2 x ESRDC x Rth
where ∆T: Temperature rise over ambient (°C)
IRMS: Maximum continuous or RMS current (A)
Rth: Thermal resistance, cell to ambient (°C/W)
ESRDC: Rated (Max.) ESRDC(Ω).
(Note: Design should consider EOL ESRDC for application temperature rise
evaluation.)

Ultracapacitors” available at www.maxwell.com.

Cycle Life Test Profile
Cycle life varies depending upon application-specific characteristics.
Actual results will vary.
ΔV
where C is the capacitance (F);
I is the absolute value of the discharge current (A);
VR is the rated voltage (V);
V1 is the measurement start voltage, 0.8ⅹVR (V);
V2 is the measurement end voltage, 0.4ⅹVR (V);
t1 is the time from start of discharge to reach V1 (s);
t2 is the time from start of discharge to reach V2 (s);
ESRDC is the DC-ESR (Ω);
ΔV is the voltage drop during first 10ms of discharge (V).

7.
Maximum Leakage Current
• Current measured after 72 hrs at rated voltage and 25°C. Initial leakage current can
be higher.
• If applicable, module leakage current is the sum of cell and balancing circuit
leakage currents.
Per United Nations material classification UN3499, all Maxwell ultracapacitors
have less than 10 Wh capacity to meet the requirements of Special Provisions
361. Both individual ultracapacitors and modules composed of those
ultracapacitors shipped by Maxwell can be transported without being treated
as dangerous goods (hazardous materials) under transportation regulations.
