What is Super Charging Pile (≥800V)? Uses, How It Works
Among these, super charging piles capable of delivering ≥800V are emerging as game-changers. They promise significantly reduced charging times, enabling EVs to recharge
Constant current (CC) charging is a simple and straightforward method for charging supercapacitors. In this method, a constant current is applied to the supercapacitor until it reaches its rated voltage. The charging time depends on the capacitance value and the charging current.
Most super capacitors (supercaps) can be discharged down to 0 V and recharged to their maximum voltage with the manufacturer recommended charge current. A simple voltage regulating LED driver with constant current, usually regulated by sensing a low side, series current sense resistor, then a voltage clamp can be used to charge a super capacitor.
The physical size of the supercapacitor should be compatible with the available space in the system. The charging source should be capable of providing the required charging current and voltage for the supercapacitor. The source's voltage should be regulated and stable to ensure consistent charging.
In general, supercapacitors can be charged much faster than batteries, often in a matter of seconds or minutes. The charging time can be estimated using the equation: t = C × (V_rated – V_initial) / I, where C is the capacitance, V_rated is the rated voltage, V_initial is the initial voltage, and I is the charging current.
