  • Patent number: 8358496
    Abstract: A high reliable electric double layer capacitor is provided by increasing a sealing ability and strength of given portions of collecting terminals. In an electric double layer capacitor including a capacitor proper 1a produced by a plurality of stacked cells and an aluminum laminate film covering the exterior of the capacitor proper, a pair of collecting terminals 12 and 13 are provided at opposed portions of the capacitor proper 1a. Each collecting terminal 12 or 13 includes a first bent portion 12b or 13b that is bent to extend along a side surface 1b of the capacitor proper 1a and a second bent portion 12c or 13c that is bent to extend outward from a vertically middle position of the side surface 1b of the capacitor proper 1a.

  • Patent number: 8154852
    Abstract: It is disclosed that an electric double layer capacitor includes a plurality of cells each including activated-carbon electrodes disposed on both sides of a separator; a plurality of packing members each disposed at an outer periphery of the cell, each of the plurality of cells and the plurality of packing members being stacked through a charge collector; and both end plates sandwiching the plurality of cells and the plurality of packing members through both collector electrodes, at least one of the end plates being formed with an inlet through which an electrolytic solution is injected. Moreover, the electric double layer capacitor is covered and sealed with an enclosing member. Moreover, the electric double layer capacitor includes an O-ring disposed in the inlet, or alternatively, an edge of the inlet is curved.
