fwiw, Wikipedia says
"The lifetime of supercapacitors depends mainly on the capacitor temperature and the voltage applied." [ 1 ]
This picture shows a 10x decrease in life when the temp varies from 25C to 65C: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EDLC-Life_time_curves.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EDLC-Life_time_curves.png

EDIT: I'm not trying to inject bad feelings here or contradict Ohm. I'm just clarifying the effect of temperature on supercap life. There is some effect on cap lifetime at high temps. I hope the product succeeds. I know sailors have using lithium batteries for a while now, but as mentioned elsewhere, they are shockingly expensive (like $6k).

- conjecTech 11y agoThanks for the comment. It is something we need to look into a bit more. Generally we haven't seen the capacitors be the limiting factor in lifetime, but they might be in extremely hot situations. I'll do some more work on getting a definite answer here so we can be more careful/specific about our claims in the future.
