In today’s world of compact, connected devices, energy storage solutions need to be efficient, reliable, and sustainable. Volfpack Energy is leading the charge with our graphene-based pouch cell supercapacitors, designed to power small-scale applications like IoT devices, medical wearables, toys, and home automation systems. Available in stock sizes of 20F and 150F, with custom options to fit your unique needs, our supercapacitors offer a game-changing alternative to traditional batteries. Here’s why they’re the perfect fit for your next project—and how they stack up against other battery chemistries.




What Are Pouch Cell Supercapacitors?

Pouch cell supercapacitors combine the rapid charge-discharge capabilities of capacitors with enhanced energy storage, all packed into a lightweight, flexible design. At Volfpack Energy, we’ve harnessed graphene technology to create supercapacitors that deliver 4x greater energy storage than traditional models, making them ideal for small devices where space is at a premium. Whether it’s a smart sensor the size of a DDR memory module or a wearable health monitor, our supercapacitors provide the power you need without the bulk.


Stock Sizes and Custom Solutions

We offer two stock sizes—20F and 150F—ready to ship for immediate use:

  • 20F: Perfect for ultra-compact applications like IoT sensors, small medical devices, or interactive toys, delivering reliable power in a tiny package.

  • 150F: Suited for slightly larger demands, such as home automation systems or advanced wearables, providing robust energy storage for extended performance.

Need something specific? Our custom sizes range from 60 mF to 1000 F, with examples like 1.4 cm x 1.5 cm (60 mF)—smaller than a DDR4 SODIMM (6.7 cm x 3 cm)—ensuring a perfect fit for your design. We’re here to collaborate, tailoring solutions to match your vision.


Why Choose Pouch Cell Supercapacitors? Key Advantages

Our supercapacitors bring a host of benefits to small-scale applications:

  1. High Energy Density

    With 4x the energy storage of traditional supercapacitors, they extend runtime for devices like IoT sensors and medical wearables, reducing the need for frequent recharging.

  2. Long Cycle Life

    Capable of over 1 million charge-discharge cycles without degradation, they outlast batteries by a wide margin. This durability is a game-changer for devices that cycle frequently, like smart home sensors or toys.

  3. Eco-Friendly Design

    Free from heavy metals and toxins, our supercapacitors are 100% eco-friendly, making them safe for medical devices and children’s toys while aligning with sustainability goals.

  4. Compact and Customizable

    The pouch cell design is lightweight and flexible, with sizes as small as 1.4 cm x 1.5 cm, perfect for integrating into space-constrained devices like DDR-sized hardware or wearable tech.

Electrical Design Benefits

For engineers, our supercapacitors offer distinct advantages in electrical design:

  • High Current Handling: They deliver and absorb large currents quickly, ideal for sudden power demands like wireless data bursts in IoT devices or peak loads in medical sensors.

  • Stable Voltage Output: Supercapacitors provide a consistent voltage because they store energy electrostatically, rather than through chemical reactions like batteries. This avoids the voltage drops common in batteries as they discharge, ensuring reliable operation for sensitive electronics—crucial for applications like health monitors. Plus, their predictable discharge simplifies electronics design, eliminating the need for complex battery management systems (BMS) to regulate voltage and prevent over-discharge.

  • Easy Integration: With no BMS required, they streamline circuit design, reducing component count and costs. Pair them with energy harvesting modules or use them standalone—their adaptability makes them a designer’s dream for compact, multi-component systems.

These qualities make supercapacitors a standout choice for powering small-scale electronics with precision, efficiency, and simplified engineering.

Use Cases: Where They Shine

Our pouch cell supercapacitors excel in small-scale applications:

  • IoT Devices: Power sensors and transmitters in smart homes or environmental monitors, especially with energy harvesting (e.g., solar or vibration). Their long life and fast charging minimize downtime.

  • Medical Wearables: Reliable, toxin-free energy for health monitors, implants, or diagnostic tools—perfect where safety and stable power matter most.

  • Toys and Educational Kits: Fast charging and durability enhance interactive toys and robotics, offering instant recharging and kid-safe materials.

  • Home Automation: Stabilize power for smart switches, motion detectors, or lighting systems, ensuring consistent performance in low-power setups.

Their small size—comparable to DDR memory modules—opens up possibilities for ultra-compact designs across these fields.

  • Vs. Lithium-Ion: Faster charging, longer life, and safer materials make supercapacitors better for frequent cycling and eco-sensitive uses, though lithium-ion holds more total energy for longer durations. No BMS requirement further simplifies design over lithium-ion’s complex management needs.

  • Vs. Alkaline: Rechargeable and waste-free, they outshine single-use batteries in cost and sustainability.

  • Vs. NiMH: Superior cycle life and charge speed make them ideal for rapid, repeated use over NiMH’s slower recharge and shorter lifespan.

For small-scale applications needing durability, quick energy delivery, and streamlined electronics, supercapacitors win hands down.
