Application: Digital Cameras

Customer Requirements

Manufacturers of digital cameras are looking at options to relieve battery load during high power times, such as microprocessor, zoom and flash, and extend battery life. These activities create high peak demand functions of the camera. By leveling out the load the battery is spared and will last longer resulting in limited battery replacement that is results in cost savings and enhanced convenience to the consumer.

Maxwell's Solution

Maxwell Technologies ultracapacitors were designed to work with system batteries to improve power management. Digital cameras are perfect candidates for ultracapacitor technology because of their energy and peak power demands. By using the ultracapacitors for all peak power demands, the battery is protected from the big current draws that shorten their overall lifespan.

Customer Benefits

Ultracapacitors significantly improved power management in the digital cameras and extended battery life. In addition, ultracapacitors allows consumers of digital camera to easily install replaceable alkaline batteries so they do not have to rely on inconvenient, and often hard-to-find re-chargeable batteries-making cameras smaller, lighter, and user-friendlier. Ultimately resulting in sales and increased customer satisfaction.
