The disadvantages of supercapacitors for energy storage are their low voltage (2−3 V), self-discharge (loss of half energy) within a month, and high investment costs of $10,000−20,000 per kWh. Advantages with respect to batteries are the high load and unload carrying capacity during charge and discharge and the high number (105−106) lifetime
