2.7v Ultra Super Capacitor Balancing Circuitry
Dissipates up to 1A of Current
This listing is for a neat little super capacitor balancer that was created for 2.7v super capacitors. It was designed to start draining current when the super capacitors reaches roughly 2.6v. This is so that the super capacitor will never reach or exceed the maximum charge of 2.7v. This will help to ensure that you super capacitors have a long, long life. Theoretically, if super capacitors are treated properly, they`ll live longer than we will, which is what makes them so cool! I have written an instructable about super capacitors, and a link can be found below.
This module can be interfaced with any super capacitor, but can only handle a constant drain of 1A or less. This can handle the occasional spike of 3A, but it will overheat quickly, so you have to make sure that if you are to use this, that you are charging your capacitors at 1A or less. The specifications, notes, and applications list are listed below. The power is drained through an on board set of power resistors, and a FET. This set of balancing circuitry does not come with a capacitor. You can solder capacitors to the leads, or you can mount them with screws. There is a positive lead that is labelled with a large (+) symbol. The negative lead hole is not labelled. Make sure not to reverse the capacitor and charging circuitry polarities. You`ll end up damaging both the capacitor and the balancing circuitry. Please do note hesitate to ask any questions you may have. A link to my instructable can be found in the `Notes` section of this listing. Do not use any capacitor with a voltage rating of less than 2.7v. EACH SET OF BALANCING CIRCUITRY IS TESTED AND PLACED INTO AN ESD BAG PRIOR TO SHIPMENT.
Specifications:
Max Constant Charge Current: 1A
Individual capacitor voltage: 2.7v (DO NOT USE 2.5V OR ANY OTHER VALUE THAN 2.7V!!!)
Diameter: 35mm
Height: 4mm
Soldering hole diameter: 5mm
Applications:
1) Charging super capacitors through solar cells.
2) Charging super capacitors through batteries.
3) Charging super capacitors through wall transformers.
4) Charging super capacitors through inductive reactance.
Notes:
1) If you don't know much about super capacitors, go here:
Instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Lets-learn-about-Super-Capacitors-A-Practical-G/
I wrote that instructable to help people understand more about super capacitors. I'm sure it will help you in some way.
2) The on board discharge limiting resistors and the FET can get hot when discharging (Balancing the capacitors) It is a good idea to mount your board at least 1cm away from anything that could potentially burn.
3) While this board does NOT come with super capacitors, if you puchase this board, and are looking for 6x super capacitors, I can give you a discount. Just send me a message and we'll work something out.
4) If the leads of your super capacitors are too thick to be soldered into the 2mm diamater soldering holes, then you'll have to solder thinner gauge wires to bridge the gap)
