A supercapacitor (SC), also called an ultracapacitor, is a high-capacity capacitor, with a capacitance value much higher than solid-state capacitors but with lower voltage limits. It bridges the gap between electrolytic capacitors and rechargeable batteries. It typically stores 10 to 100 times more energy per unit mass or energy per unit volume than electrolytic capacitors, can accept and deliver charge much faster than batteries, and tolerates many more charge and discharge cycles than rechargeable batteries.
Supercapacitors, also called ultra capacitors or double layer capacitors, are specially designed capacitors that possess very large values of capacitance—as high as 12,000 F.
Supercapacitors are breakthrough energy storage and delivery devices that offer millions of times more capacitance than traditional capacitors. They deliver rapid, reliable bursts of power for hundreds of
They are also known as double-layer capacitors or ultracapacitors. Instead of using a conventional dielectric, supercapacitors use two mechanisms to store electrical energy: double-layer capacitance
Super capacitors act like any other kind of capacitor, only they can store tremendous amounts of energy. Many capacitors that you''d have seen in audio circuits have capacitances such as 470uf or 680uf
SuperCapacitors are a valuable technology for providing a unique combination of characteristics, particularly very high pulse power and capacitance densities.

Compared to other capacitor technologies, EDLCs (Electric Double Layer Capacitor) are outstanding for their very high charge storage capacity and very low equivalent series resistance (ESR).
The super capacitor is a specialised form of capacitor that offers exceedingly high levels of capacitance – sometimes up to many farads. Super capacitors may also be known as supercaps, ultracapacitors
