NiCd vs supercapacitor in high-current discharge

I'm going to build a drone project (no lead batteries) that will only run for 1-2 minutes, but probably at low temperatures (30C-60C C-rate and sometimes -20°C,) so I will need a nickel-cadmium ...

How to interpret the “surface power density” of a battery/capacitor

I’ve come across this research and one point of representing a power output confuses me: This enzymatic fuel cell is based on non-immobilized enzymes that exhibit a maximum power output of 0.8 mW cm−...

Battery options for 500mA load

I need to energize a load with 500mA current for 10 seconds. Voltage doesn't needs to be constant but can be in between 0.1v to 1v. The application has size constraints so I can only use a button cell ...

How to raise capacitor voltage to use a capacitor bank as a battery?

This is a highly theoretical question. There are these 100kF, 2.7V capacitors you can buy online. According to my calculations, 5 of them in series would give me the energy capacity close to a 44Ah, ...
