Abstract

An electrochemical charge storage device (20) having a voltage discharge profile which is constant for a substantial period of the discharge cycle, which then drops off sharply to full discharge, in a manner more often associated with a battery discharge profile. The electrochemical charge storage device is further characterized by a discharge rate in excess of at least 100 C., and as much as 7000 C. Accordingly, the electrochemical charge storage device is characterized by a battery discharge voltage profile which occurs at substantially capacitor discharge rates.
