Kokubili ama-ultracapacitor namabhethri kuyizingxenye zokugcina amandla. Kodwa inqubo yokugcina amandla ye-supercapacitor iyinqubo ebonakalayo, ukugcinwa kwamandla ebhethri kuyinqubo yokusabela kwamakhemikhali, lokhu kokubili kunomehluko obalulekile.

Izici zamandla ze-supercapacitor zingcono kunezebhethri, ezingashajwa futhi zikhishwe ngokushesha ngogesi omkhulu. Ubuningi bamandla ebhethri buphakeme kunobe-supercapacitor, futhi amandla agcinwe yibhethri ngaphansi komthamo ofanayo maningi. I-Supercapacitor iyinto esebenzayo esekelwe ku-carbon kanye nezinto ezixubile ze-electrode sheet sheet ezisebenzisa i-carbon black kanye ne-binder, kusetshenziswa i-electrolyte ehlanganisiwe ukumunca ama-ion amahle nangalungile ku-electrolyte, kwakha isakhiwo sesendlalelo sikagesi esiphindwe kabili sokugcina amandla, inqubo yokugcina amandla ayiveli ngokuyisisekelo ukusabela kwamakhemikhali, ngakho-ke impilo yomjikelezo inde kakhulu, izikhathi zokushaja ezijwayelekile kanye nezikhathi zokukhipha zifinyelela izikhathi ezingaphezu kuka-500,000, izikhathi zokushaja zebhethri kanye nezikhathi zokukhipha zincane kakhulu, amabhethri e-lead-acid izikhathi ezingu-500, amabhethri e-lithium izikhathi ezingu-1000-1500, izinhlobo ezahlukene zokushaja kanye nezikhathi zokukhipha azifani; Ama-Ultracapacitor asebenza emazingeni okushisa abanzi kunamabhethri --40 kuya ku-65 degrees.

Ukusetshenziswa kwalokhu okubili kuhlukile futhi, ubuningi bamandla e-super capacitor buphansi, kodwa ukusebenza kwayo okuhle kakhulu komjikelezo, ukuvikelwa kwemvelo, amandla aphezulu kwenza isetshenziswe kabanzi ekunikezelweni kwamandla okusekelayo, ukushaja nokukhipha imvamisa ephezulu, ukukhishwa kwamandla aphezulu kanye nezinye izikhathi, kanti ubuningi bamandla ebhethri buphezulu, kodwa isimiso sayo siquka impilo yayo, futhi ukushaja ngokweqile nokukhipha ngokweqile kuzobangela ukulimala okungenakuguqulwa kuyo, futhi akulona imvelo. Kodwa-ke, uma kungekho izingxenye zokugcina amandla ezingathatha indawo yobuningi bamandla aphezulu kangaka, ikusasa lisese yizwe lamabhethri (amabhethri e-lithium-ion) isikhathi eside, futhi lizothatha indawo kaphethiloli kanye nezinye izinto zokubasa ukuze zibe yisizinda samandla e-kinetic ezimoto.

Ubudlelwano phakathi kwalokhu okubili ukuthi izinzuzo zokukhishwa kwamandla aphezulu kwe-supercapacitor kanye nekhono lokwamukela ukushaja kwamanje okuphezulu kanye nokukhishwa kungahlanganiswa nobuningi bamandla aphezulu ebhethri njengokuthuthukiswa kwempilo yebhethri kanye nokonga amandla kwezimoto zikagesi.
