Prismatic Supercapacitors - Ultra Compact but Strong
The perfect solution for high-power, immediate energy storage and release.
Prismatic Supercapacitors
Our Prismatic Supercapacitors, developed in partnership with CAP-XX, provide high power density in an ultra-thin, lightweight design. These cutting-edge energy storage solutions bridge the gap between traditional capacitors and batteries.
Ultra-thin, high-performance Supercapacitors
SCHURTER introduces its new line of Prismatic Supercapacitors, setting a new standard in energy storage solutions. These supercapacitors combine high power density, extremely low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), and ultra-thin form factors, making them the ideal choice for demanding electronic applications.
Why choose SCHURTER Prismatic Supercapacitors?
World’s Thinnest Supercapacitors: The SCPA model measures down to just 0.4 mm in thickness, making it the thinnest supercapacitor available today.
High Power Density: Designed to deliver rapid energy discharge for high-load applications.
Low Self-Discharge: Ensures long-term energy retention and efficiency.
Extreme Durability: Withstands significantly more charge/discharge cycles compared to conventional rechargeable batteries.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for mobile devices, wearables, IoT sensors, power backup systems, and energy-harvesting solutions.
Power density vs. energy density – understanding the advantage
Supercapacitors differ from conventional batteries by offering higher power density, enabling them to discharge energy quickly when needed. While they store less energy than traditional batteries, their ability to rapidly charge and discharge makes them indispensable for applications requiring bursts of power.

What is a Supercapacitor?
A supercapacitor (also called supercap or ultracapacitor) is a high-performance energy storage device designed for fast charging and discharging. It combines the quick power delivery of traditional capacitors with the energy storage capacity of batteries, making it ideal for demanding applications.
How Does a Supercapacitor Work?
Supercapacitors use two porous electrodes separated by an electrolyte. When voltage is applied, ions in the electrolyte accumulate at the electrode surfaces, creating two charged layers – a principle known as electric double-layer capacitance (EDLC). This structure allows for rapid energy storage and release without the wear and tear of chemical reactions.
Key Features:
Rapid power delivery: Supercaps can deliver power much faster than batteries.
Fast charging/discharging: charges in seconds to minutes.
Long lifespan: can last for up to 1,000,000 charge/discharge cycles.
Temperature resilience: operates effectively in extreme conditions.
Environmentally friendly: no toxic or harmful chemicals.
