Looking at the possibility of using a supercapacitor in conjunction with a battery to power a motor, the SC to handle the inrush current when the motor is turned on, and therby extend the batterys life cycle.
Can anyone provide me with some direction on this?
Is it sufficient to connect the two in parallell.
I'm thinking not as this ensures that the battery is energising the SC everytime its charge drops and hence makes the SC roles pointless in extending the batterys life cycle.
Do i require some sort of automated transfer switch to decide which source is feeding the load i.e. SC during inrush and then the battery during normal running of the load.
What else do I need to look out for.
Any help would be appreciated.
