Skeleton Blog 5 Valuable Insights About ESR and ESL in Supercapacitors You Need to Know

Supercapacitors prioritize efficiency, and that’s where ESR plays a critical role. Think of ESR as the key factor that ensures smooth operation by reducing heat and energy loss during high-demand charge and discharge cycles. Lower ESR enhances the reliability and efficiency of your supercapacitor, helping to prevent issues like overheating and accelerated degradation. On the flip side, high ESR can lead to wasted energy and overheating—definitely something to avoid. Understanding and minimizing ESR and ESL are key to optimizing the balance between energy storage, power delivery, and longevity in supercapacitor-based systems.
