Warning

Do not charge the hybrid capacitor above 4.1V. 

Avoid over-discharge, short circuit, or heating above 100°C. 

Do not incinerate or immerse in water. 

Discharging the EPC1520 below 2.0V may result in performance degradation or increased internal resistance.

Technical Integrations

Designed as a drop‑in companion for Li‑SOCl₂ batteries, the EPC1520 prevents “voltage lag” by smoothing the power delivery. Its hybrid architecture supports long-term background energy via lithium and enables bursts by capacitor—for solar‑powered remote modules or RTUs needing occasional high-current draw.

Recommended Storage & Usage

● Do not exceed 4.1 V charging voltage

● Avoid discharging below ~2.5 V

● Keep below 100 °C; avoid fire, water immersion, and short circuits

● Ideal storage temperature: under 30 °C, humidity <60%

EPC1520 Hybrid Pulse Capacitor redefines what's possible in compact, long-lasting, high-current power solutions. Impressively combining decades of lithium reliability with supercapacitor performance, it delivers an energy solution that endures—and performs—when it matters most.
