A battery-capacitor hybrid power source was discharged under pulsed current conditions and various ambient temperatures. Significant improvements in voltage drop and run time were obtained with the hybrid device over the battery alone. An equivalent circuit was established to evaluate the voltage behavior of the hybrid device. It was found that at the peak discharge current, as much as 50% of the total energy supplied was provided by a capacitor with only about one-third of the battery's volume.
