DuraBlue®
Premium energy storage for high shock and vibration environments
Maxwell Technologies’ DuraBlue® Advanced Shock and Vibration Technology combines Maxwell’s patented electrode formulation and manufacturing process with a robust proprietary cell structure, resulting in a product line specialized for the most demanding shock and vibration requirements of the industrial and transportation industries.
Maxwell’s proprietary electrode process results in the formation of a durable and tough electrode with the benefit of significantly longer life compared with other energy storage technologies available. Maxwell’s innovative mechanical design behind the DuraBlue product line achieves high performance and reliability for applications in the automotive, rail and hybrid bus markets.
Exceeding Industry Standards
The test standards for Maxwell’s DuraBlue product line are IEC 60068-2-27 for shock and ISO 16750-3, Table 12.
The acceleration for IEC 60068-2-27 is 100 G, four times higher than the acceleration of SAE 2464, the test standard for competitor ultracapacitor cells.
The RMS acceleration for ISO 16750-3, Table 12 is 5.9 Grms, three times higher than SAE J2380 with an acceleration of 1.9 Grms.
