ELECTRIC DOUBLE LAYER CAPACITOR
Introduction of Electric Double Layer Capacitor
１．Introduction
Compared to the commonly used rechargeable batteries, Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC), which is capable to be chargeddischarged with high current, is an energy storage device which has excellent charge-discharge cycle life. In the recent years, with
energy issues (reduction of oil consumption, consumer electric power, CO2 emission, and effective use of new energy) being focused,
using EDLC on more and more new applications is considered. Installation of EDLC in hybrid or fuel-cell vehicle is also considered.
Nippon Chemi-Con has been strongly pursuing products that serve for energy conservation, low environmental load. EDLC represents
those environmental-friendly products. We have a wide range of products to meet customers' needs, starting from a several hundred
Farads, to large capacitance of 2300F.
２．Basic Mechanism of EDLC
Conventional capacitors have a dielectric sandwiched between two electrodes. When voltage is applied, dipoles are oriented, and
thus electric charge is stored. Electric double layer capacitors have electric charges oriented at the boundary of electrolyte and
electrodes which is called the "electric double layer."

３．Characteristics
Unlike rechargeable batteries, EDLC does not use chemical reactions and it stores energy solely by physical movement of ion to the
surface of activated carbon. That gives EDLC features as following;
・With low degradation, it withstands multimillion charge-discharge cycles.
・With the high power density, rapid (high current) charge-discharge is possible.
・With a high charge-discharge efficiency, the output efficiency of over 95% with a power density 1kW/kg is achieved.
・Environment-friendly without containing heavy metals.
・High in safety at irregular ocassions, and will be not destroyed even by short circuiting.
４．Structure
Nippon Chemi-Con produces cylindrical type DLCAPTM (Photo1).
Basic structure is, as shown in figure 2, aluminum foils with electrode pasted on the surface wound into a roll.
Using activated carbon for the electrode utilizing its very large surface area, and with our original high-density electrode manufacturing
technology, we achieved both high capacitance and low resistance.

Precaution Statement
１．Precautions for use
① Please do not use EDLC under the environment, which exceeds the rated performance range.
a)High temperature (over operating temperature)
b)Over voltage (over rated voltage)
c)Application of reverse or alternate voltage
② The sleeves of the EDLC are not an electrical insulation.
③ EDLC has finite and regulated life.
④ Please do not use or store EDLC under the following environment;
a)Environment where the capacitor could be exposed to water, salt water or oil, or the environment which is
filled with gaseous oil or salt.
b)Environment which is filled with toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous acid, chlorine,
ammonia, bromine, or methyl bromide.
c)Environment where the capacitor could be exposed to acidic or alkaline solvent.
d)Environment where the capacitor could be exposed to direct sunlight, ozone, ultraviolet rays or radiation.
e)Environment under extreme vibration or mechanical impact.
⑤ Please assemble the module with cell terminals upward to avoid liquid leakage.
⑥ As EDLC has internal resistance, the internal heat generated by charge-discharge affects its life.
Please choose the products with low resistance and make sure to avoid overheat of the capacitor.
⑦ Due to capacitor's internal resistance, there is a voltage drop (also referred to as "IR drop")
at the beginning of charge-discharge. Please consider this voltage drop in your circuit design.
⑧ When a capacitor is fully charged, short-circuiting the output terminals could cause the electric current to flow
as high as a few hundred amperes. Please do not install or uninstall a module when it is charged.
⑨ Please do not drop EDLC. Do not use it once it is dropped.
⑩ Please make sure of the polarity when assembling EDLC into a module.
⑪ Please follow the specification of the screw tightening torque.
⑫ Please do not deform EDLC to assemble module.
⑬ As the characteristic of EDLC, the voltage changes in proportion to the stored energy.
If stable output voltage is required, circuit system such as converter needs to be added.
⑭ When using EDLC for industrial application, following periodical check is recommended.
a)Appearance: Significant abnormality such as deformation, electrolyte leakage.
b)Electrical characteristics: Characteristics prescribed in the catalog or product specifications.
⑮ Please stop the whole system when EDLC generates excessive heat or a foul smell.
In case of excessive heat, do not get close to the part in order to avoid injury.
⑯ Please ventilate the area sufficiently when the safety vent on EDLC operates and releases a gas from inside.
If the gas is inhaled or hits eyes, please wash eyes, gargle, and consult with a doctor immediately.
Do not lick the electrolyte of EDLC. Wash away the electrolyte from the skin with soap and water.

２．Precautions for transportation
① Fumigation process may be required for export in some countries.
Some types of fumigation process which uses halogenated ions may cause corrosion on EDLC materials.
② Due to the Export Trade Control Ordinance, the documents obtained to the exporter concerning that
export trade, with information that the product is being used for developing mass destruction weapons,
the exporter will have to apply and hand in the export permission from the Ministry of Industrial Trade and Industry.
③ During transportation of EDLC, please make sure to place its terminal upward to avoid electrolyte leakage.
④ With revision of United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods,
energy storage capacity "Wh" has to be shown on EDLC from 1 January 2013.
Our EDLC shipped out after January, 2013 has the notation of enegy storage capacity.
Please refer to ＂電気及び電子機器用電気二重層キャパシタの輸送に関する手引書＂(Japanese only) issued in May, 2012
by JEITA.
３．Precautions for storage
① Please store EDLC at temperature between 5℃～35℃ and humidity less than 75％ .
Please avoid an environment with drastic temperature change which could damage the product.
② Voltage treatment is recommended when EDLC is stored for more than one year.
For voltage treatment, please charge 1 to 10A up to the rated voltage, then keep applying rated voltage for about 20 hours.
４．Precautions for disposal
Please discharge the electricity to safety voltage before disposal.
Please follow the laws or regulations at the place of disposal.
Please drill or crash the part before incineration.
Please refer to the following report before using EDLC.
