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.
