Areca Hybrid Supercapacitor Group 31 Modules

Communication service providers require compact, reliable, long-lasting and weather-resistant energy storage solutions for space-limited environments, such as underground cabinets and vaults, which can be exposed to moisture and are difficult to access.

Areca™ Hybrid Supercapacitor Group 31 Energy Storage Modules are the ideal solution for confined spaces. Unlike lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, Areca Group 31 Modules are not susceptible to steep runtime performance declines, reducing labor costs associated with unit replacement. In addition to a compact profile and availability in a variety of voltages, Areca modules are fully sealed and IP65-rated to prevent water and moisture damage.
