[Electric Boats] Re: Super Capacitors, Electric Motors, Wind Gen, Solar Panels and Li Ion Batteries

 

Hi Bob,

It seems like a Super Cap would be better suited for EVs (high loads that are intermittant) but I haven't heard of anyone that has done it successfully. Many have tried, but the current technology just doesn't deliver. Since as boaters, we use our energy slower and more consistently, batteries are more effective.

But if you've got some extra supercaps laying around, it might be worth putting them in your boat and see how they work.

Fair winds,
