[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 6076E CAP-XX Limited 14 May 2013 \n \n\nCap - XX Limited\n(\"Cap - XX\" or the \"Company\")\n \nLaunch of large prismatic supercapacitors and modules in sample quantities\n \nCAP-XX is pleased to announce that it has commissioned a small-scale production line to manufacture the GC1 supercapacitors and GC6 modules for evaluation, following the recently announced completion of Laboratory testing and in-vehicle trials of its automotive modules. This will facilitate further research by customers and potential licensees.\nGlobal demand for high energy, high power supercapacitors (ultracapacitors, electric double layer capacitors or EDLC) is growing rapidly as new applications come to market. These include Stop-Start and Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) for cars, trucks, buses, cranes, construction machinery and elevators, ride-through power for trams and trains, uninterruptable power supplies, renewable energy management, power factor correction and on-grid/off-grid storage.\nCAP-XX, which has long been recognised as a leader in small supercapacitor markets, has now developed a large prismatic supercapacitor for use in these emerging applications, together with a proprietary supercapacitor management system for multi-cell modules operating at higher voltages. The critical success factors for these products are size, weight, energy and power. This translates to a need for high energy density (thousands of Farads in the smallest possible device) and high power density (very low series resistance in a very efficient package). CAP-XX meets these requirements first by using the most advanced materials available inside the cell, and then by packaging them in an extremely efficient prismatic cell. This combination of best in class materials and packaging delivers energy and power density ratings for CAP-XX which are more than double those of competitive products.\nFor further information, please contact:\n\n\n\n\nCAP-XX Limited\nAnthony Kongats (Chief Executive Officer)\n\n\n \n+61 (0) 2 9428 0139\n\n\n\n\nCenkos Securities\nStephen Keys/Camilla Hume (Corporate Finance)\n\n\n \n+44 (0) 20 7397 1949\n \n\n\n\n\nKreab Gavin Anderson & Company \nRobert Speed (Financial PR)\n \n\n\n \n+44 (0) 20 7074 1800\n\n\n\n\n \nNotes to edit...
