Japanese power-supply company Altech corp has launched a new ultra capacitor intended to replace battery systems in backup of DC power.

The DIN-rail mountable Altech Ultra Capacitor Modules DC/UPS Systems come in voltages including 12-V and 24-V DC with power ranges from 1000 to 10 000 watts of energy in one unit. The capacitor can operate in temperatures ranging from -40 to 65 degrees Celsius.

The lifespan of the ultra capacitors is claimed to be five times that of a traditional battery.
