| 1. | Pouch and cylindrical cell temperatures depend linearly on the discharge current.
|
| 2. | The internal resistance also has significant impact on the discharged current.
|
| 3. | First generation EDLC's had relatively high internal resistance that limited the discharge current.
|
| 4. | Next, the capacitor has to be discharged with a constant discharge current I discharge.
|
| 5. | External circuitry limits the discharge current.
|
| 6. | For that reason the specified charge and discharge currents for frequent cycling are determined by internal resistance.
|
| 7. | The specified cycle parameters under maximal conditions include charge and discharge current, pulse duration and frequency.
|
| 8. | The specified charge and discharge currents can be significantly exceeded by lowering the frequency or by single pulses.
|
| 9. | The resistor value should be great enough to limit the peak discharge current to reasonable values for the size of capacitor.
|
| 10. | Thus, at the center of the particle is not fully consumed, especially under the condition of large discharge current.
