Capacitance and ESRDC measured at 25°C using specified test current per waveform below. 3. Absolute maximum voltage, non-repeated. Not to exceed 1 second. 4. After 72 hours (208 hours - BCAP3400) at rated voltage. Initial leakage current can be higher. 6. Pmax = 7. Emax = 0.12V2 ESRDC x mass V2 4 x ESRDC x mass 10. Cycle life varies depending upon application-specific characteristics. Actual results will vary. 11. Per United Nations material classification UN3499, all Maxwell ultracapacitors have less than 10 Wh capacity to meet the requirements of Special Provisions 361. Both individual ultracapacitors and modules composed of those ultracapacitors shipped by Maxwell can be transported without being treated as dangerous goods (hazardous materials) under transportation regulations. ½ CV2 3,600 x mass MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS Do not reverse polarity.
