Constant Current Charge
Full current of the charge flow into the battery until the power supply reaches its
pre-set voltage.

Constant Voltage Charge

Voltage maintain at constant while the current decay exponentially as the
battery gets a finishing charge.

Capacity
Amount of energy that can be stored into the battery, in mAh.

Activatedcarbon
Magnified structure of activated carbon powder.
It Is highly porous which greatly enhance the
overall reactive surface area of a
supercapacitor.

cyclic Voltammetry
Apply a linear voltage scan to an electrode (or a
device) between two voltage limits and to
measure the current response.
galvanostatic Charge-discharge
Also called chronoamperometry, where the current is
controlled, and the voltage is measured. It gives
access to different parameters such as:
