ultracapacitor
High-power energy bank
An ultracapacitor is an energy storage device that bridges the gap between conventional capacitors and batteries.
It stores electrical charge through electrostatic fields rather than chemical reactions, allowing extremely rapid charging and discharging.
Ultracapacitors excel at delivering quick bursts of power—regenerative braking systems, backup power, camera flashes—but hold less total energy than batteries of similar size.
Also called supercapacitor.
