Maxwell Technologies Launches New 3-Volt (3.0V) Platform for Full Range of Market ApplicationsSAN DIEGO, Jan. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXWL), the leading developer and manufacturer of energy storage and power delivery solutions, today announced the launch of a new full-featured 3.0-volt (3.0V) product platform. With the introduction of these next generation ultracapacitors, users have the ability to increase energy and power in the same form factor as the 2.7-volt product line and can significantly cost-optimize their system designs by using fewer ultracapacitor cells or modules. Alternatively, users can upgrade to a 3.0V solution to extend the expected life of their products. The 3.0V platform is designed for single-cell applications as well as multi-cell complex module systems. "Maxwell Technologies continues to expand its product roadmap with the introduction of the highest energy cells to date," said Thibault Kassir, Maxwell Technologies vice president and general manager, energy storage. "By continually listening to the needs of our customers, our 3.0V family of products was developed to provide the flexibility to address higher-voltage or cost-sensitive applications. We designed these innovative products with the expertise gained by the collaboration of our technology centers across the world. Maxwell ensures the highest quality and affordability, while setting the new industry standard for a 3.0V product line." Designed from the ground up, Maxwell's new 3.0V platform addresses energy storage requirements driven by trends in renewable energy, industrial electrification and smart grid. The growth of renewable energy sources has increased wind turbine installations, which require more energy storage to ensure pitch control during critical moments, such as when the turbine blades must be brought to a standstill. E-commerce has sparked the need for ultracapacitors in warehouses to provide Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) with highpower and fast charging capabilities. The demand for enhanced connectivity in smart meters for gas, water and electric utilities requires high power functionality to improve accurate meter readings and response time to customers. Whether used alone, integrated into a module assembly or in a hybrid configuration with fuel cells, Maxwell's 3.0V platform of products can help reduce the overall cost and weight of the system while improving return on investment for customers. 3.0V XP™ Small Cell Ultracapacitors 3.0V 3400-Farad (3400F) Ultracapacitor Cell with DuraBlue® Advanced Shock and Vibration Technology About Maxwell Technologies Maxwell Technologies Contacts:
