I'm wondering how much capacity the capacitors are adding to the system, as the voltage of the capacitors can never go below the sag voltage of the LiIon cells under load, and can never go above the LiIon cells voltage during regen. I'd love to see a comparison graph of the voltage of the

Thank you Steve, This is what I am talking about.  A simple system. Is it possible you can provide a diagram of your setup?  I was going to put two 16v modules in series to feed and take from my 24volt system which would be connected in parallel.    I think the Maxwell modules might be better

I have 22x2600f super caps in series in my ev. They are simply paralleled with the battery pack and perform two functions: the first is that they take all the heavy grunt in terms of initail power start up much means that the batteries don't see the big spikes and are treated a lot better

I am looking to buffer my 24 volt Valence 40 ah pack. It puts out 30 amps continuous. 90 in burst mode for 90 seconds. The eGo scooter it is in can draw well over 100 amps accelerating or climbing a hill. Maxwell makes small and large 16v modules. Two modules in series is well enough over the
