Capacitech Energy careers

Capacitech Energy, Inc. is a startup producing a flexible and wire-shaped energy storage product
with supercapacitor performance. Its unique feature is that it can go where supercapacitors are
needed but have never gone before. Applications include the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables,
renewable energy systems, energy harvesting, and a variety of automotive systems. Capacitech's
novel, patented, and versatile wire-shaped form factor can overcome the significant size, space, and
aesthetic challenges faced by traditional supercapacitors on the market.

Problem
Supercapacitors are physically rigid electrical components that are used on circuit boards, where
space is highly valuable. Their form factor limits an engineer’s placement options, making it difficult
to use them in certain applications.

Solution
Capacitech Energy, Inc. is producing a physically flexible and wire-shaped supercapacitor. The
innovation leverages its novel form factor to eliminate painful engineering trade-offs. This is because,
like no supercapacitor before it, it can be routed through areas where space is available on the PCB
or placed off the PCB and integrated into other parts of the product or system’s infrastructure instead,
such as a wiring harness for an electric vehicle. These key features and its high-power density make
this technology well suited to complement energy harvesting technologies and batteries used in a
variety of applications.

Product Description
Capacitech Cable-Based Capacitor (CBC) is a physically flexible and wire-shaped supercapacitor.
Each cell features a capacitance of 3F rated at 1.6VDC. Cells can be connected in series and parallel
to meet the specifications of various applications.  The CBC's unique form factor offers space
and aesthetic advantages through the ability to be used off the printed circuit board (PCB) and
integrated into other parts of a product of system, such as a wearable, wiring harness, or power
cord.
