Supercapacitors can replace batteries in many cases and can significantly improve system performance and reliability. They can be a cost-effective alternative, especially when the cost of battery replacement is high, or the lost opportunity cost of failure is significant. This white paper reviews five critical considerations and covers several applications where supercapacitors have been used to replace batteries.
