Abstract The porous nature of the electrode material in supercapacitors and apparent conductivity electrolyte cause their impedance to show a complex frequency‐dependent behavior, which turn makes it incorrect treat them as ideal capacitors, even at frequency few millihertz. This is particularly crucial if intended application requires configuration that uses stacked supercapacitor banks, errors defining metrics individual components accumulate. Although manufacturers provide ratings under...
