For over 40 years, Tecate Group has been a trusted global provider of electronic components and assemblies, empowering customers across industries with forward-thinking energy storage solutions. Their TPLCE Series Lithium-Ion Capacitors (LICs) offer a breakthrough in hybrid capacitor technology, delivering superior energy density and high power performance in a compact and cost-effective package.

Engineered with a unique combination of electric double-layer capacitor and lithium-ion technologies, the TPLCE series is designed for high-performance backup and pulse power applications. These radial-designed cylindrical capacitors operate at voltages up to 3.8V and are capable of more than 250,000 rapid charge/discharge cycles, making them ideal for systems where space is limited but performance is essential.

Unlike standard ultracapacitors or lithium-ion batteries alone, Tecate’s hybrid LICs deliver higher voltage, longer backup duration, and faster responsiveness, all while reducing system weight and size. This makes them well-suited for applications that demand high reliability, such as medical,industrial automation, utility metering, telecommunications infrastructure, and data storage.

With a compact footprint, low self-discharge, and an extended operating temperature range, the TPLCE series helps prevent downtime, protect sensitive data, and extend the life of primary batteries in hybrid configurations.
