YMIN 3.8V Lithium-ion Supercapacitor: The Optimal Solution to Overcome Low-Temperature Endurance Challenges for Container Locators

With the rapid development of the global logistics industry, container locators have become a crucial auxiliary device in the transportation sector, widely used in ports, freight companies, and logistics management systems. Their core function is to provide real-time tracking of container locations, deliver accurate transportation data, and optimize efficiency. However, in extreme environments, particularly under low-temperature conditions, the performance of container locators often faces significant challenges, representing one of the key technical bottlenecks in the industry. As the core power component, the choice of capacitor is critical. Lithium-ion supercapacitors, with their advantages of low-temperature resistance, fast charging and discharging, high energy density, and material safety, have emerged as the optimal replacement for traditional batteries.

01 Technical Challenges of Container Locators

Container locators using traditional battery technology currently face the following challenges:

1. Insufficient Low-Temperature Performance: Traditional batteries experience significant capacity reduction in low-temperature environments, making it difficult to support continuous device operation.
2. Limited Lifespan: Frequent charge and discharge cycles shorten battery life, increasing maintenance costs.
3. Safety Risks: Certain battery materials pose risks of overheating or leakage under extreme conditions, endangering transportation safety.

To address these challenges, Shanghai Yongming Electronic Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as YMIN) has introduced a 3.8V lithium-ion supercapacitor specifically designed for low-temperature environments as low as -40°C. This solution ensures long-lasting operation and stable performance of container locators while eliminating risks of explosion and fire, providing reliable protection for cargo safety.
