Today, we are surrounded by a wide variety of advanced battery chemistries and architectures, including nickel-based, lead acid-based, and lithium-based devices. While all these batteries play an important role in modern life, Li-based devices are considered the most well-known and fastest-growing battery technology.

A type of energy storage system that has garnered the attention of a growing number of industry professionals in recent years is known as a supercapacitor. These devices are also referred to as ultracapacitors, double-layer capacitors, or electrochemical capacitors. In layman’s terms, you can think of them as a combination of a regular capacitor and a battery; however, they are not the same.
