@Lachlan Thanks for the info Lachlan. Re: Supercap reliability… My basic understanding is that if you design with supercaps for a “Everyday” (ie not too hardcore) indoor use case, and keep them within some pretty obtainable operating conditions they effectively last forever. Obviously there’s some ambiguity (“everyday” “pretty obtainable”, “effectively”) in the prior assertion, but...
My particular use case — indoor temps but in a wall, 5v power — might see a temp range of 15° - 35°C max I’d guess. The 70°C - 105°C you’re talking about would have to be a pretty harsh/industrial environment, no? Does anyone (who has done it, or knows how) have a sense of how straightforward it is to achieve a supercap-based system design that keeps the components in a range that’d keep them healthy for “Effectively forever?” ie 20k+ cycles? (better than bats) 100k+? (effectively forever) Or, do the requirements we’re looking at for a basic, indoor, power system really push the supercaps into the “Quickly-used-up” zone?
