Now some of their write up sounds a little 'too good' but the idea of using a bank of ultracapacitors with the batteries makes a lot of sense. It isn't just LiON batteries that don't handle surge currents well. Using the ultracapacitors for the surge power demand with chemical batteries for energy storage is an excellent approach.
