Glad that helped, Marc. It's been a while since I read the article on
ultracapacitors, but I'd book-marked it.
Borderline [something].

Thanks
for the link.
What I now think I understand is the
following:
Ultracaps' main advantage is that they are rapidly
rechargeable. They
can also tolerate a very high discharge
current.
Their main disadvantage, other than cost, is that they behave
like any
other capacitor - that is, their voltage drops as they discharge,
unlike
storage batteries which have a fairly flat voltage curve until just
before full discharge.
Best,
Marc
