Areca Element HSC-S 36V Shelfmount Hybrid Supercapacitor
Areca™ Element HSC-S 36V Shelfmount Hybrid Supercapacitors redefine what safe, compact, long life standby power can be. By storing energy electrostatically rather than through chemical reactions, they eliminate the hazards that come with traditional batteries — including leaks, off gassing, and thermal runaway. The result is a cleaner, more resilient energy platform that frees up space, reduces operational risk and positions your network to rise above the constraints of aging battery technologies.
Areca Element HSC-S plugs directly into your standard enclosures and existing power systems, helping you modernize at your pace without a disruptive overhaul. With configurations delivering 2.3 kWh or 3.57 kWh of storage, true 100% depth of discharge, and a low maintenance lifespan of 15–20 years, Areca gives you a durable, future-ready energy foundation — one built to keep critical networks confidently on course as demands accelerate.
The Future of Standby Power
Areca Element HSC-S
Accelerate Carbon Footprint Reduction:
A cleaner and safer backup powering system than VRLA or Lithium-based alternatives, ATX’s Areca Element Hybrid Supercapacitor Energy Storage solutions speed the migration to more efficient and environmentally friendly standby powering operations, essentially eliminating the risks of chemical leaks or thermal runaway.
Achieve Greater Reliability:
Lightning-fast recharge capabilities, a depth of discharge rate that reaches 100% and the ability to operate within a temperature range of -40 to +60 degrees Celsius means that your inside or outside plant operations will nearly never be without power.
Reduce Total Cost of Ownership:
ATX’s Areca Element Hybrid Supercapacitor Energy Storage solutions’ extended lifespan of as much as 20 years, the requirement of little to no maintenance and related savings in HVAC and facility footprint all add up to exceptional capital and operational savings.
Seamlessly Revitalized Existing Energy Storage Operations:
Areca energy storage modules are compatible with existing enclosures and power management systems, enabling operators to update and revitalize their energy storage operations gradually and without interrupting subscriber services.
Lean on Industry Experts:
ATX’s Areca Element Hybrid Supercapacitor Energy Storage solutions are backed by ATX’s professional services organization, which offers an end-to-end certified battery replacement service that includes site review, uninstalling existing systems, installation of hybrid supercapacitors and a complete battery recycling program.
