I have an electric scooter rated 1500W/60V.
I have 20 supercaps rated 25F/2,7V.
I'd like to add supercaps to my e-scooter to save battery from high current.
I read about both serial and parallel connections, but I also read about need of buck/boost DC/DC converters, and I heard about no electronics at all beeing needed... so I'm quite confused!
If I set up a SC pack made of 20 SCs in parallel I'll get a 500F/2,7V pack which carries 0,5 Wh.
If I put it in series with battery, I'll get 1,2 seconds boost on my 1500W scooter, and then... it will become an open circuit, and my scooter will stop!
If I setup a SC pack of 30 (not 20) SC in series, I'll get a 0,8F/81V pack which carries 0,75 Wh and lasts 1,8 seconds... but only in theory! I can't use the whole 0-81V range, as batteries are seen as depleted when at 60V and fully charged when at 64V, so I can only use 60-64V range; let's say 60-70V, i.e. 10V range: this would mean just 0,012Wh and 0,02 seconds!
So how should I pack my supercaps, and how should I connect them to the vehicle?!?
