Thank you for purchasing the ORION Hybrid Capacitor.The ORION 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 ORION Hybrid Capacitors good for?
Some of the most promising applications that have been found for ORION 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.
ORION Hybrid Capacitors supply their energy much faster than a battery. A properly installed ORION Hybrid
Capacitor can deliver the instantaneous power (Amps) that are commonly demanded by today's large audio
systems.
What makes ORION 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 ORION Hybrid Capacitor the highest energy storage capacity and
power density of any other commercially available components of comparable size and weight.
