A RESISTIVE BALANCE FOR AN ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

A resistive balance ( 1 ) for an energy storage device in the form of a supercapacitor ( 2 ). The supercapacitor has two energy storage cells ( 3, 4 ). In some embodiments, the balance is disposed intermediate the cells. Balance ( 1 ) includes two parallel, spaced apart and co-extensive longitudinal members ( 5, 6 ) that respectively extend between ends ( 7, 8 ) and ends ( 9, 10 ). Two parallel, spaced apart and co-extensive transverse members ( 11, 12 ) extend between members ( 5, 6 ). While member ( 11 ) is attached to members ( 7, 8 ) immediately adjacent to ends ( 7, 9 ) respectively, member ( 12 ) is attached to members ( 7, 8 ) adjacent to but spaced inwardly from respective ends ( 8, 10 ).
