How to reduce self-discharge of supercapacitor? Is there any difference on self-discharge due to electrolyte used?

06 June 2018 0 7K Report

We are having some issues with self-discharge of supercapacitors. Is that normal, aqueous based device discharge in few hours? Is there any trick to solve that? Is electrolyte dependent the self-discharge?

Thank you for your help
