Maxwell’s First 3-Volt, 3000-Farad Cell

Newest addition to Maxwell Technologies’ K2 family of ultracapacitors.

The newest addition to Maxwell Technologies’ K2 family of ultracapacitors is the 3-volt, 3000-farad cell. Maxwell’s first 3-volt cell meets the same life performance criteria as the 2.7-volt cell, with the added benefit of increased power capability—a 31% increase over the 2.7-volt cell and a 16% increase over the 2.85-volt cell.

  • Highest voltage and power of K2 series
  • DuraBlue™ Advanced Shock and Vibration Technology
  • Up to 1,000,000 duty cycles or 10 year DC life*
  • Up to 20 kW/kg of specific power**
  • Up to 4 Wh of stored energy**
  • 60 mm diameter cylindrical design
  • Hybrid and plug-in hybrid bus
  • Grid energy storage (stationary)
  • Wind turbine pitch control
  • Rail (onboard or wayside)
  • Automotive (including hybrid vehicles)
  • Heavy industrial equipment
  • UPS and telecom systems
*Results may vary. Additional terms and conditions, including the limited warranty, apply at the time of purchase. See the datasheet, warranty details and datasheet for applicable operating and use requirement. **Typical values represent mean values of production samples
