Abstract

The article discusses the current technologies and methods of fast, safe, and efficient charging of modern high-capacity batteries. The aim of the research is to determine which of the currently used technological solutions are most suitable for use in charging of supercapacitor energy storage devices. Modern solutions applicable to battery technologies which due to the operating characteristics and working parameters of supercapacitors are not suitable to use for their charging have been listed and the potential problems and risks related to using them for supercapacitor and battery hybrid charging have been outlined. The aim is to seek methods of optimizing supercapacitor charging to maximize the safety and speed of the process, in the perspective of using them alongside batteries for automotive applications.
