Introduction
The Sirius Capacitor Module (“Sirius”) is supercapacitor-based storage that uses supercapacitors as
storage cells instead of chemical cells. Kilowatt Labs’ proprietary balancing, control and charge retention
algorithms control the operation of the supercapacitor-based Modules, making Sirius a safe, efficient and
effective alternative to chemical batteries wherever chemical batteries are deployed.
