NTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the ORION Hybrid Capacitor.The ORION Hybrid Capacitors, also known as Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) or Super Capacitors, are passive electrostatic energy storage devices.They are state of the art technology that allows you to put massive power storage in a very small space What are ORION Hybrid Capacitors good for? Some of the most promising applications that have been found for ORION Hybrid Capacitors are battery and large audio system performance enhancement.
ESIGN EATURES The following features are the results of the unique patented manufacturing process that enables the DEI Hybrid Capacitor to deliver many charge and discharge cycles with greater energy and power per unit weight and volume. High Energy The amazingly high specific capacitance and lower weight of ORION's Hybrid Capacitor yields an energy per kilogram figure that is twice that of any other commercially available Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC).
NSTALLATION This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new ORION Hybrid Capacitor. Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding on the layout of your new system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making adjustments.

NSTALLATION ATTENTION: Make sure the battery and all other power sources are disconnected. ATTENTION: When installing high voltage audio equipment, such as capacitors and amplifiers, we recommend using “full-spec” AWG (American Wire Gauge) type wire for your power and ground wires. CAUTION: Ensure correct polarity during the following connections.
