Hi.Storage efficiency of the capacitor is higher.
I am wondering about the tradeoffs associated with using a capacitor vs a rechargeable battery. /snip/
I am not sure of the tradeoffs associated with storing the energy in a rechargeable battery vs a capacitor.
Any insight?
Thanks for the help.
Paul.
Lifetime in terms of charge/discharge cycle count is higher for the capacitor
Cost is higher for the capacitor
Voltage versus discharge at constant rate graphs differently.
Stored energy density higher for the rechargeable (??)
