Thank you for purchasing the Rockford Fosgate Hybrid Capacitor.The Rockford Hybrid Capacitors, also known as
Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) or Super Capacitors, are passive electrostatic energy storage devices.They
are state of the art technology that allows you to put massive power storage in a very small space
What are Rockford Hybrid Capacitors good for?
Some of the most promising applications that have been found for Rockford Hybrid Capacitors are battery and
large audio system performance enhancement. Even the very best batteries, that present day technology has to
offer, have performance limitations determined by the laws of physics and chemistry that govern their operation.
Rockford Hybrid Capacitors supply their energy much faster than a battery. A properly installed Rockford Hybrid
Capacitor can deliver the instantaneous power (Amps) that are commonly demanded by today's large audio
systems.
How do Rockford Hybrid Capacitors compare with Batteries?
Rockford Hybrid Capacitors have approximately 10 times the power density of a same sized battery and the
capability of being charged and discharged over 100 times faster than a battery.This is why they make such great
intermediate power sources. However, Rockford Hybrid Capacitors do not have the characteristic battery limitations
of a short life span, cold intolerance, and critical charge and discharge rates.
What makes Rockford Hybrid Capacitor Cells so special?
The electrode forming process, which produces ultra-dense yet porous hybrid electrodes, and the continuous
operating voltage of 2.7 volts (per cell) give the Rockford Hybrid Capacitor the highest energy storage capacity and
power density of any other commercially available components of comparable size and weight.
