DALLAS, Sept. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq: MXWL) unveiled a compact, fully integrated, 48-volt multi-cell
BOOSTCAP(R) ultracapacitor module for heavy-duty transportation and
industrial energy storage and power delivery applications here today at
the American Public Transit Association Annual Meeting and EXPO, where
it is on display at Booth 3135 with ISE Corporation.
Richard Smith, Maxwell's executive vice president for strategic
business development, said that the new BMOD2600-48 module consists of
18 2.7-volt BOOSTCAP MC2600 cells based on a recently announced
technology breakthrough that enables the cells and multi-cell modules
to store more energy and deliver more power per unit volume and last
longer than any other commercially available ultracapacitor products.
"In addition to meeting or exceeding demanding transportation and
industrial application requirements for both watt-hours of energy
storage and watts of power delivery per kilogram, these products will
perform reliably for more than one million discharge-recharge cycles."
Smith said. "The proprietary material science on which they are based
also significantly reduces manufacturing cost, positioning Maxwell to
achieve our stated goal of pricing large cell ultracapacitors at one
cent per farad in multi-million-cell annual volumes."
