Common pole capacitor housing apparatus and method
View Patent ↗A housing is provided for connecting two capacitor cells in a series or parallel combination and for providing the two cells as one integral product.
1. An energy storage device packaging system, comprising:
a housing, the housing having a body and a separator, the body having a first opening and a second opening, the separator disposed within the housing, and the first and second opening separated by the separator;
a first jellyroll type energy storage device cell disposed within the first opening and coupled to a first side of the separator; and
a second jellyroll type energy storage device cell disposed within the second opening and coupled to a second side of the separator.
2. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first cell and the second cell are double-layer capacitors.
3. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first cell and the second cell each have a maximum operating voltage of about 4 volts.
4. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a battery sized form factor.
5. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the separator is in conductive contact with the housing.
6. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second cell are connected in series.
7. The packaging system of claim 6 , wherein the cells and the housing are coupled to a balancing circuit.
8. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second cell are connected in parallel.
9. A double-layer capacitor product, comprising:
a housing, the housing having a body and a separator, the body having a first opening and a second opening, the separator disposed within the housing, and the first and second opening separated by the separator;
a first jellyroll type capacitor cell, disposed within the first opening and coupled to a first side of the separator; and
a second jellyroll type capacitor cell disposed within the second opening and coupled to a second side of the separator.
10. The capacitor product of claim 9 , wherein the product is rated to operate above 4 volts.
11. The capacitor product of claim 10 , wherein the housing and the separator are in conductive contact.
