Through this agreement, the JSR group companies will provide a lithium ion capacitor electrical energy storage device, resulting in an improved power capture rate compared to conventional batteries.
JSR president Nobu Koshiba said for more than a decade, JSR has continually worked to expand the company’s green and smart technology capabilities.
Capstone’s IntelliH2O water meter’s current features include remote on/off capability, two-way communications, pressure sensing and reporting, self-calibration, remote communication, and self-power generation.
Capstone COO James Rice said the new storage device is better suited to the uneven flow rate of the water meter, allowing quicker charging with more voltage than a conventional battery.
