1. Introduction:

devices which provide enhanced energy and low ESR to meet varied energy storage and power
requirements. Each module is comprised of four individual ultracapacitor cells. These modules
include passive balancing and may be connected in series to obtain higher operating voltages,
parallel to provide additional energy storage, or a combination of series/parallel arrangements for
higher voltages and energy. Each module can be installed in a variety of orientations by using the
provided hardware.

2. Unpacking and Handling

Unpacking
2.1.
Inspect the shipping carton for signs of damage prior to unpacking the module. Damage to the
