More Science, More Punch

Supercap specialist John Miller reviews the cutting edge science and the hard nosed practicality from this year's ECCAP meeting at Long Beach

ECCAP is the electrochemical capacitor symposium that precedes and accompanies the Advanced Automotive battery meeting, held earlier this year in Long Beach California. With three sessions in parallel with the lithium-ion battery symposium, there was head-to-head competition for attendance between the two technologies, located in adjacent rooms. Attendees circulated constantly between the two rooms. Speakers included academics, industrial users, and manufacturers, as well as even system integrators of the new electric . . .
