◦Lithium Ion Capacitor (LIC) is one of the Hybrid Capacitors to which
the reaction of EDLC and that of lithium-ion battery are adopted.
◦LIC applies the reaction of lithium-ion battery with anode, therefore it
has extremely large capacitance.
(about twice as large as conventional EDLC)
◦The technique of doping lithium-ions to the anode previously (pre-
doping) makes a cell voltage of 3.8V attainable.
◦In spite of a high output voltage, damages to the electrodes can be
repressed because of low electrode's potential due to pre-doping
technique. Therefore LIC shows excellent performance of cycle life.
◦LIC is environmentally friendly power source, which does not contain
any heavy metals such as Cd, Hg and Pb. (RoHS compliant)
◦Storage power source combined with solar cell, fuel cell, generator, and so on.
◦Main power source for small devices (machine tools, measuring equipments, toys, and so on).
◦Load charge leveling (life lengthening of main power source such as dry battery, Lithium primary battery)

CYLINDER TYPE LITHIUM ION CAPACITOR
■PRECAUTIONS
1. Use within the rated voltage (2.2-3.8V)
If over rated voltage is applied, it might cause abnormal current flow, which shorten lifetime, cell heating, leakage and sometimes damage Lithium Ion
Capacitor.
2. Use under maximum operating temperature
Not only shorter life time but also leakage and damage will happen by increasing internal pressure if Lithium ion Capacitor use in over max operating
temperature.
3. Limited life time
Lifetime of Lithium Ion Capacitor is greatly affected by surrounding temperature.
10℃ drop in temperature extend its expected lifetime approximately twice as much. Design a circuit under consideration of deterioration of electrical
characteristics after long time usage, decreasing in capacitance and increasing in internal resistance.
4. The electrical characteristics of capacitors vary with respect to temperature
The electrical characteristics of Lithium Ion Capacitor temporarily vary with respect to temperature separately from secular change mentioned above.
Design a circuit under consideration of temperature characteristics.
5. Lithium Ion Capacitor has polarity
Lithium Ion Capacitor has polarity. Please check the polarity before use. It will be damaged if it is reversely charged.
6. Don’t short-circuit positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
Direct contact with positive (+) and negative (-) terminals or connection with metal or other conductive materials may cause short-circuit and excessive
current flow, which may cause heating and leakage.
7. Mind with high ripple current or rapid charge / discharge
In circuit with high ripple current or required rapid and very frequent charge / discharge, the lifetime of Lithium Ion Capacitors might be shortened by
self-heating.
8. Mind voltage drop when discharging
When discharging start, the voltage drop that originates in internal resistance happens if discharging current is high
9. Series connection
In case of using Lithium Ion Capacitor in series connection, the voltage of each capacitor is not always equal and it may be occurred excessive voltage in a
part of capacitor, which may lead to shortening lifetime and breakdown. Take a margin against a rated voltage or add a balancing resister
10. Lithium Ion Capacitor has the pressure release vent
In case of inside pressure of capacitor excessively rising, the pressure release vent will be opened in order to release inner gas. Following clearance
(Diameter< φ18：over 2mm, Diameter≧φ18：over 3mm) should be made above the pressure release vent.
Don’t set up wiring or a pattern in the upper part of the pressure release vent, so that the high temperature gas is gushed when the pressure release vent
open.
The product which open the pressure release vent can not use.
11. The sleeve of the Lithium Ion Capacitor is not guaranteed insulation
Short circuit might happen if circuit pattern is set underneath of Lithium Ion Capacitor or it fixed by a metal or it contact with other component.
12. Environmental of usage
In case Lithium Ion Capacitor is used in the high humidity, alkaline or acid air, it may cause deterioration of its performance, electrolyte leak and short circuit
by corrosion of outer can or lead terminal.
In addition, used in sudden temperature change or high humidity, it may cause deteriorating of its performance and electrolyte leak by dew condensation.
13.Don’t apply shock and vibration or pressure
Lithium Ion Capacitor is sensitive to shock.
Don’t drop Lithium Ion Capacitor and not apply strong pressure to a body, terminals and lead. Soldering part or lead terminal might be damaged if applying
vibration, shock and stress such as pinch, tip, push and twist after installed.
14. Soldering
If next each item is not minded, it may cause deteriorating of its performance, leakage, shortening lifetime.
● Don’t contact solder iron to a cell body.
● Don’t solder over solder conditions in the spec. sheet.
15. Cleaning condition when cleaning circuit-board after soldering.
Cleaning may affect Lithium Ion Capacitor. Consult us about cleaning conditions beforehand. Some cleaning conditions cause detrimental influence.

16. Storage of Lithium Ion Capacitor
Keep the following cautions for storage of Lithium Ion Capacitor.
● Don’t store in the high temperature, the high humidity condition and a place where receiving direct sunlight. Store in the room condition of 10℃ - 35℃
and less than 65% relative humidity is recommended.
● Sudden temperature change or high humidity may cause deteriorating of its characteristics and soldering.
● Don’t store PAS capacitor near water, salt water or oil, and it the dew condensation, gasified oil or salinity filled place.
● Don’t store it the hazardous gas (hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous, chlorine, ammonia, bromine, methyl bromine and etc).
● Don’t fumigant by halogen fumigant
● Don’t sore near acid or alkaline solvent.
● Don’t store in a place where expose to ozone, ultraviolet or x-ray
● Don’t store in a place where vibration and shock might occur in.
17. Disposal
To insulate a positive terminal and a negative terminal by covering such as a tape to avoid short circuit and dispose in accordance with local and country
rules and regulations.
18. Usage
Lithium ion capacitor is produced for usage of information & communication equipment, home electronics, audio & visual equipment, office equipment and
etc. Consult us about using reliability and safe required products such as medical equipment, transportation equipment, industrial equipment, flight/space
equipment and emergency equipment.
19. Failure mode
Usage in following condition may cause deteriorating of characteristics or failure.
1) Overcharging
If applying load current continuously over rated upper limit voltage 3.8V, electrolyte will be degrade in accordance with rising voltage and its temperature
may rise. At the same time, its internal pressure will rise due to gas evolve by electrolyte degradation.
Lithium ion capacitor has a pressure vent to release gas from its body in case of abnormal internal pressure rising.
Gas will be released by opening a pressure vent when internal pressure exceeds a certain value.
(To be able to function effectively, it should be installed with 3mm interspaces above a pressure vent.)
2) Over discharging
If discharging under rated lower limit voltage, it will accelerate deterioration such as capacitance degradation, internal resistance rising and etc.
3) External short circuit
If a positive terminal and a negative terminal are contacted each other or connected by induction tools, Lithium ion capacitor will be short circuit and
excessive current will be drained.
As a result, internal temperature will rise, internal pressure will rise and in some case gas may be released by opening a pressure valve.
Following actions will cause external short circuit
● To trim two terminals by a nipper at once.
● To measure a distance of two terminals by a metal slide gauge .
● To mount on a circuit board by flow soldering.
