The ways our SuperCap Outperforms Market Leaders

Unlock the many benifits of our SuperCap technology.

Lithium Ion storage systems degrade at a rate of 2-3% per year. LUX energy storage systems do not utilize a chemical conversion process into and out of an electrolyte and therefore do not experience comparable degradation during the lifespan of the product.

Most Lithium Ion warranties allow a lifetime throughput of less than one cycle per day. We allow up to 2 full cycles per day.

Every board and component in the modules, including the supercaps themselves, can be replaced or serviced in the field with a small bag of parts and tools, saving the time, expense, and hassle of shipping modules back to a service team. The modules have been designed for scale manufacturing and service accessibility to all parts.

Lithium Ion systems degrade rapidly over time. When adding capacity to such a system, it will perform at the lowest level achievable within the system’s components (the weakest chain in the link). LUX modules do not lose capacity and last a very long time, so adding capacity in 5 or 10 years allows the system as a whole to continue to perform at a high level with the new capacity.

If you charge four times faster and can cycle multiple times per day, you need less storage. With a bigger inverter, more power can be delivered without the need for more storage. Back-up generators also can be run at their maximum efficiency point at all times.

LUX modules do not need to talk to the inverter, as they are capable of protecting themselves. If the inverter is setup incorrectly and asks too much of them, they will simply disconnect.

LUX modules have no external BMS, they can simply be connected in parallel without limit.

True 100% depth-of-discharge. Simply buy what you need and add to it later as your needs grow.

Units are not damaged by going to a zero charge state.

Cold or hot, almost no place on earth is too inhospitable for LUX energy storage systems without the need for parasitic loads to heat and cool them. Since they do not generate heat during charging and discharging, LUX modules also do not contribute to thermal issues within a system enclosure.

Lux modules store energy electrostatically as electrical energy, not electrochemically within an electrolyte. As a result, no heat generation occurs during charge/discharge, which is a major reason chemical batteries are less efficient. Since every cycle has a cost in terms of whatever energy is lost during the storage and discharge processes, it is important that this loss be as small as possible. LUX modules operate at extremely high levels of efficiency, making them especially useful for applications requiring frequent cycles.

All data concerning the health and operational condition of each module is stored within the module and exported to the cloud for access by customers at all times.

LUX Modules include protections that make them autonomous. Simply put, they are aware of their surroundings and will protect themselves as necessary. Supercaps are very powerful devices. If two modules try to connect to each other at different voltages, they can damage themselves or surrounding equipment. LUX modules constantly monitor their surroundings for over-volt, over-current, voltage-differential, and other potentially harmful conditions and act accordingly. LUX modules are also capable of moving toward a desired reference voltage before connecting, allowing for fast and easy setup and minimal maintenance.
