Captery: Supercapacitor AA/AAA Fast Charger & Batteries

The power of pocket-sized supercapacitors | High performance | Recharges in 160 seconds | Unprecedented lifecycle

Every year, more than 15 billion batteries end up in landfills worldwide, creating nearly 300,000 tonnes of highly polluting waste.

These figures hide another truth: traditional batteries are made using mercury, nickel, cadmium and cobalt, all of which are expensive, rare and highly polluting. The production process involves exploitationwater consumption, and irreversible damage to ecosystems.

Most electronic devices that we use every day, such as remote controls, mouse and keyboards, watches etc…have a very low power consumption (between 0.001 and 0.05 watts).

Eighty percent of these devices are powered by two 1.5 V or 1.2V batteries because they operate at a 3V (in series). Nevertheless, we continue to produce high-capacity 1.5V batteries that have a very short life cycle of just two or three years, and take at least three hours to charge

How did we solve it? Thanks to Supercapacitors! ⚡

What is a supercapacitor? It is a storage device that can be recharged very quickly and can withstand continuous charge/discharge cycles with minimal deterioration compared to current batteries.

With our Single Charger Plus, you can charge Captery batteries in just 160 seconds (less than a coffe time).

           And then? It’s ready to be reused after just 160 seconds.

More than 160 prototypes were made before a solid product was achieved. But it was worth it!
