I've seen some very cool work done with supercaps used to replace D cell batteries.
I was wondering what I would need to replace my laptop battery and AA batteries with supercaps. It seems like it would be an obvious solution that there would be clear demand for, and yet I haven't seen a single company producing DC AA format batteries. Did the entire industry drop the ball on this new tech, or is there an unseen limiting force? Can't you run a series of supercaps at lower voltages to extend the duration of the charge?
