Abstract

Provided is an electric double layer capacitor including a large capacity single cell having a large electrostatic capacity and a small capacity single cell are connected to the same exterior case in parallel, and a thickness of a separator of the large capacity single cell is made thicker than a thickness of a separator of the small capacity single cell. With this structure, a supply amount of an electrolyte solution to the large capacity single cell is markedly increased compared with the small capacity single cell, thereby being capable of preventing degradation of the large capacity single cells and the small capacity single cells and providing the electric double layer capacitor having an excellent cycle life and having a large power storage amount while keeping characteristics capable of instantaneously allowing large current to flow.
