The Paper Battery company is pleased to provide a fast charger evaluation platform for the PowerResponder
line of supercapacitors. The kit contains a wall adapter, fast charge board and reference circuit diagrams as
requested and includes two PowerResponder™ cells. The kit will enable customers to quickly and effectively
evaluate PowerResponder
products.
NOTE: This kit cannot be used for charging lithium-ion batteries, which are unsafe under fast charge conditions

risk of flammability or thermal run-away from the PowerResponder
Our fast charger kit includes a standard off-the-shelf 36 Watt AC line adaptor providing 18 Volts at 2 Amperes.
The charging subsystem is a microprocessor controlled CC/CV buck converter with an integrated LED fuel gauge.
Current and voltage set points are configurable with the onboard potentiometers. The default configuration is 5A

Summary of Contents for Paper Battery PowerResponder

  • Page 1 The Paper Battery Company has data on cycle life impact showing thousands of cycles with less than 20% loss of capacitance. PowerResponder devices fail in open circuit mode after a gradual, easily measureable, and thus predictable, decrease in capacity.
  • Page 2     Constant Current/ 4.0V Constant Voltage – corresponding to 20 Watts of charging power. The plot below illustrates a constant current fast charge of our 350 Farad PowerResponder product at 5A. A full charge is achieved in 105 seconds.
  • Page 3 PowerResponder™ product, a few more seconds of constant current are adequate to attain full charge. Specific implementation: The Paper Battery Company’s fast charger board is a buck converter with an external current sensing loop imposed onto the controller such that the output voltage collapses to maintain constant current.
