13.2 ESR, Terminal Resistance and Internal Resistance:
The Supercapacitor can be represented by a simple RC equivalent circuit as illustrated below:
Where the voltage between the two terminals of the supercapacitor is:

It can be seen from the graph that as discharge
current rate is increased, the time required to
discharge the Module is decreased.
Similar to Module charge graph, also while
discharging, there is dramatic voltage decrease
from 53V to 50V in less than 9 minutes
regardless of discharge current rate. Between
50V to 44V there is linear behavior in all
discharge voltage curves.
Regarding the discharge test with 4
different current rate, ambient
temperature reaches the maximum value
when Module is fully discharged and
there is quite correlation between
consumed energy and Module ambient
temperature. Temperature increase
window is 5 Celsius.
