The CANS system technology is unique in that it can offer low cost and reliable power storage, low mass and volume, high power, high energy, long life (>15 years), millions of charge/discharge cycles, rapid charge and discharges times, high efficiency (98%), work at extreme temperatures. So, CANS technology can be used for NASA's both short and long Balloon Programs as well as various space applications including LEO and GEO missions.
The proposed CANS can be produced in controlled fashion. This will open a wide range of possible applications such as computer systems, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, power conditioners, power tools, inverters, automobile systems, power supplies, cameras, power generators, commercial communications, and spacecraft. As supercapacitors become increasingly miniaturized, they will play a growing role in consumer markets. Applications where supercapacitors have been suggested for consumer products include notebook PCs, digital music players, toys, eBook readers, and cell phones.
