Continental AG Selects Maxwell Technologies' BOOSTCAP(R) Ultracapacitors for Automotive Voltage Stabilization System

--Start of Production for Fuel-Efficient Stop-Start Models Set for 2010
8:00 AM ET, September 22, 2009

SAN DIEGO, Sept 22, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (US:MXWL) announced today that Continental AG, one of the world's leading automotive electronics and mechatronics suppliers, has selected Maxwell's BOOSTCAP(R) ultracapacitors as the energy storage element of a voltage stabilization system (VSS) it has developed for automobiles.

David Schramm, Maxwell's president and chief executive officer, said that Continental's VSS system stabilizes the auto's electrical system and supports stop-start functionality for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. He said that Continental has advised the company to prepare for delivery of initial series production volumes of BOOSTCAP cells for new car models starting in 2010.

"This design win for a high-volume automotive application is another very significant milestone for Maxwell," Schramm said. "As a leading Tier 1 supplier to the auto industry worldwide, Continental can drive very large volumes for our BOOSTCAP products in the years ahead."

Stop-start systems reduce fuel consumption and emissions by shutting off the car's internal combustion engine as the vehicle slows and seamlessly restarting the engine when the driver engages the clutch or touches the accelerator. In the VSS system, the ultracapacitor module provides burst power to re-start the engine, relieving the car's battery of high currents and repeated cycling that can shorten battery life. It also provides a reservoir of power to ensure stable functioning of the vehicle's electrical system when multiple power demands tax the system.

Schramm said that Maxwell is also working with other Tier 1 suppliers, automakers and heavy vehicle OEMs on ultracapacitor-based solutions for other electrical system applications and various hybrid and electric drive systems.

"We continue to focus on penetrating the large and strategically important automotive and transportation markets by aligning ourselves with industry leaders such as Continental and continuously strengthening our design, engineering and production capabilities," Schramm said.

Maxwell Technologies Announces PC-10 Ultracapacitor for Enhanced Backup Power for Enterprise Storage

--PC-10 Also Serves as Independent Power Source in Smart Utility Meters, Other Applications

8:00 AM ET, October 20, 2009


SAN DIEGO, Oct 20, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (US:MXWL) today announced the availability of its PC-10 ultracapacitor with proprietary electrode for enhancing the reliability of backup power in enterprise storage, powering smart utility meters, and benefiting a variety of other industrial applications.

Roughly the size of a postage stamp and able to efficiently store power and distribute it immediately, the PC-10 provides up to 10 years or more of reliable data protection for high-performance solid-state drives (SSD) and non-volatile memory modules in enterprise storage systems in the event of power disruptions while reducing the overall cost of ownership and environmental impacts of conventional battery solutions.

The PC-10 can also be used in automated utility meters as part of the smart grid, enabling utility companies to prioritize which individual buildings should come back up following a power outage. The PC-10 can also aid in load-sharing arrangements, powering meters to transmit data from residences that have agreed to lower their energy use during peak periods.

"In enterprise backup storage applications, ultracapacitors are a much more reliable option than the traditional Lithium-ion, nickel and alkaline batteries commonly used today," said Michael Liedtke, Maxwell's vice president for sales, marketing and business development. "Ultracapacitors eliminate the need for replacing a battery in enterprise storage devices every year and conducting performance tests."

"In smart utility meters, the PC-10 guarantees the meter will keep transmitting information if power is shut down to the area," Liedtke said.

Developed for mass commercial use over the past decade, ultracapacitors store energy in an electric field rather than through the chemical reactions of conventional batteries. With an extremely high energy density thousands of times greater than standard capacitors, ultracapacitors provide an independent, instantly available source of power unaffected by temperature, shock, overcharging, and millions of discharging/recharging cycles. They require no maintenance or special recycling.

In addition to improved reliability, the PC-10's proprietary electrode provides tighter capacitance and resistance control for more precise charging times and more efficient discharge. The PC-10 product comes in straight lead, 90-degree and 270-degree bent lead versions to fit a variety of different PCBA layout and space requirements. The PC-10's unique prismatic design makes it the only product for thin, high-energy applications and fits into a DRAM memory module form factor.

Maxwell's PC-10 ultracapacitors also offer benefits in automotive subsystems, wireless transmission, medical devices, and many other applications requiring a pulse of energy that cannot be efficiently provided by a battery or power supply alone.

Maxwell Technologies is a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative, cost-effective energy storage and power delivery solutions. Its BOOSTCAP(R) ultracapacitor cells and multi-cell modules provide safe and reliable power solutions for applications in consumer and industrial electronics, transportation and telecommunications. Maxwell sustainably manufactures its ultracapacitors which are fully recyclable as well. For more information, please visit www.maxwell.com.

Mir ist unklar, warum die Speicherzellen-Hersteller so wenig Aufmerksamkeit in der Investorengemeinde erfahren

Hier ein sehr interessanter Artikel zu SuperCaps (Doppelschichtkondensatoren) aus Wikipedia:

[...]

Neuere Entwicklungen

Forschungs- und Entwicklungsabteilungen arbeiten weiterhin intensiv an Verbesserungen. Das japanische Unternehmen Power Systems will angeblich bald einen Nanogate-Kondensator mit einer Energiedichte von 40 Wh/kg auf den Markt bringen. Die Energiedichte soll auf 60 Wh/kg steigerbar sein. Die hohen Energiedichten sollen durch noch größere Oberflächen eines neuen Materials erzielt werden. Der Schritt aus dem Laborstadium in die Massenproduktion scheint jedoch noch nicht gelungen.

Eine Arbeitsgruppe am Massachusetts Institute of Technology [6] möchte eine Energiedichte von über 60 Wh/kg mit vertikal angeordneten Kohlenstoff-Nanoröhrchen erreichen. Die Marktreife ist jedoch noch nicht erreicht.

Eine Energiedichte von 60 Wh/kg scheint jedoch realistisch. Wenn sie tatsächlich erreicht würde, hätte das große wirtschaftliche Potentiale.

Ein Mittelklasse-PKW benötigt ca. 10 bis 20 kWh elektrische Antriebsenergie pro 100 km Fahrt. Um 10 kWh in heute gängigen Doppelschicht-Kondensatoren (5 Wh/kg) zu speichern, bräuchte man noch eine Kondensatormasse von 2000 kg. Bei 60 Wh/kg spezifischem Speichervermögen wären dies für 10 kWh lediglich noch 166,6 kg. Die Energie des Autos könnte für 100 km Fahrt also vollständig aus dem Kondensator entnommen werden, und das Aufladen wäre im Vergleich zu einer Akkuladung in sehr kurzer Zeit möglich. Im Vergleich zu einer Tankfüllung würde das Laden jedoch noch immer recht lange dauern: selbst bei einem Ladedurchsatz von 10 kW würde das Aufladen 1-2 h an Zeit benötigen.

Das US-amerikanische Unternehmen EEStor Inc. (Austin/Texas) hält ein Patent für elektrische Energiespeicher-Einheiten mit 52 kWh Energieinhalt bei einer Masse von 152 kg und wollte noch 2007 die Produktion von 15-kWh-Einheiten mit einer Masse von weniger als 100 Pfund (45 kg) für den kanadischen Elektroautohersteller ZENN Motor Company aufnehmen, der Verkaufsstart wurde dann auf Mitte bis Ende 2008 verschoben. Bis Ende 2008 existierte jedoch noch kein funktionierendes Exemplar[7]. Da in unabhängigen Instituten (z. B. dem MIT) derzeit erst versucht wird, nur 60 Wh/kg zu erreichen, und da EEStor bisher noch keine funktionierenden Prototypen präsentieren konnte, werden die sensationellen Angaben EEStors derzeit stark angezweifelt.

Das deutsche Unternehmen BASF reichte 2003 ein Patent ein, in dem ein Kondensator mit einer Energiedichte von 5500 Wh/l (19,8 MJ/l) beschrieben wird[8]. Der beschriebene Kondensator kombiniert die Vorteile der Oberflächenvergrößerung einer porösen Elektrode mit einer 0,1 µm dicken Bariumtitanat-Schicht. Bariumtitanat ist ein Ferroelektrikum mit einer sehr hohen Permittivität und einer hohen Durchschlagsfestigkeit. Die volumetrische Energiedichte des beschriebenen Kondensators entspricht damit mehr als 50 % der Energiedichte von Heizöl.

Maxwell Technologies Reports Increasing Demand for Ultracapacitor-Based Energy Storage Systems for Hybrid Buses

Approximately 2,400 BOOSTCAP® Equipped Vehicles Now in Daily Operation Worldwide

Sep. 9, 2010 (PR Newswire) --

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxwell Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: MXWL) reported today that it has delivered BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitor cells and multi-cell modules for more than 1,000 hybrid transit bus drive systems through the first three quarters of 2010, and sees continuing strong demand going forward.

David Schramm, Maxwell's president and chief executive officer, said that approximately 2,400 BOOSTCAP-equipped, low-emission, hybrid transit buses already are in daily revenue service worldwide, and that, based on current consumption rates and customer forecasts, that number could reach 3,000 by year-end.

Ultracapacitor-based energy storage systems are highly efficient in absorbing recuperative braking energy and delivering stored energy to zero-emission electric motors for acceleration in electric and hybrid internal combustion/electric vehicles. Ultracapacitors operate normally at temperatures as low as -40 C, and are designed to perform reliably through one million or more deep discharge cycles, or about 10 years of operational life for most vehicles.

In April 2009, Maxwell announced purchase orders valued at approximately $13.5 million for 850 hybrid transit bus energy storage systems from three leading bus producers in China. The company also is supplying ultracapacitors to several other heavy vehicle OEMs and drive system integrators in the U.S., Europe and Asia, and its sales and applications engineering teams are working with several additional potential customers that are developing and testing ultracapacitor-based systems.

"Our initial Chinese OEM customers have placed significant follow-on orders for standard 48-volt BOOSTCAP modules this year, and they are projecting significant additional volumes going forward," Schramm said. "These versatile modules have demonstrated reliable performance and high efficiency in vehicles that have been in service for up to several years. With their ability to be connected in series or parallel configurations to meet various voltage requirements, they can meet the energy storage requirements of virtually any type or size of heavy vehicle.

"Working with hybrid vehicle drive system producers around the world has given Maxwell a solid understanding of the requirements of the bus and rail industries and enabled us to expand our global footprint," Schramm added. "Ultracapacitors have become a preferred energy storage option for many types of public transit and commercial vehicles, so we expect these applications to be an even more significant factor in ultracapacitor sales growth going forward."

Maxwell's 125- and 48-volt modules include temperature and voltage monitoring and internal cell voltage management that make them easy-to-integrate building blocks for systems with a broad range of voltage requirements. Complete module data sheets may be accessed via the following link: www.maxwell.com/ultracapacitors/products/modules/bmod0165-48-6v.asp.

Continental AG Launches Production of Ultracapacitor-Based Voltage Stabilization and Booster System for Micro Hybrid Autos

'E-booster' Supports Stop-Start Function in Fuel-Efficient, Low-Emission PSA Peugeot-Citroen Hybrid Cars

Oct. 20, 2010 (PR Newswire) --

SAN DIEGO -- Maxwell Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: MXWL) announced today that it is delivering production-level quantities of BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitors to Continental AG, one of the world's leading automotive electronics and mechatronics suppliers, for Continental's "E-booster" voltage stabilization system for micro hybrid automobiles.

PSA Peugeot-Citroen announced recently that Citroen C5 and C4 diesel models featuring PSA's e-HDi second generation micro hybrid system, which incorporates Continental's E-booster, is available in current models, and that it plans to equip a significant percentage of its diesel autos with the new system by 2012. PSA estimates that e-HDi micro hybrid diesel autos will realize fuel savings of up to 15 percent in city driving, helping the new cars to comply with the European Union-mandated carbon dioxide emission threshold of 130 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

"This ultra-modern technology is designed for high cycle reliability, long life, and real convenience for motorists. It is emblematic of Continental's years of experience developing hybrid systems and also of our desire to do our part to increase mileage while lowering CO2 emissions," says Bernd Neitzel, head of Continental's Powertrain Hybrid & Electric Vehicle business unit.

"This design win for a high-volume automotive application is another very significant milestone for Maxwell," said David Schramm, Maxwell's president and chief executive officer. "Continental is currently the only manufacturer of such a system, making it a global leader in stabilizing on-board electrical systems."

Micro hybrid stop-start systems reduce fuel consumption and emissions by shutting off a car's internal combustion engine as the vehicle slows and seamlessly restarting the engine when the driver engages the clutch or touches the accelerator. The ultracapacitor-based E-booster provides burst power to re-start the engine, relieving the car's battery of high current, repetitive cycling that can shorten battery life. It also provides a reservoir of power to guarantee that restarting the engine doesn't drain power away from other devices such as the radio, headlights and other comfort and safety features.

"We continue to focus on penetrating the large and strategically important automotive and transportation markets by aligning ourselves with industry leaders such as Continental and continuously strengthening our design, engineering and production capabilities," Schramm said.

Maxwell Technologies Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

Ultracapacitor Sales Up 78%, Total Revenue Up 21% vs. Q309
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONFERENCE CALL & WEBCAST AT 5 P.M. (EDT) TODAY - DETAILS BELOW

Oct. 28, 2010 (PR Newswire) --

SAN DIEGO -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXWL) today reported revenue of $31.5 million for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010, up 21 percent over the $26.1 million recorded in the same period in 2009. BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitor revenue increased by 78 percent, to $18.6 million in Q310, compared with $10.5 million for the same period last year. Sales of high voltage capacitor and microelectronics products totaled $12.8 million in Q310, down 18 percent from the $15.6 million recorded in Q309.

"Ultracapacitor sales growth continues to be driven by several key target markets, including wind energy, hybrid and electric transit vehicles, micro hybrid automotive systems, backup power and wireless communications," said David Schramm, Maxwell's president and chief executive officer. "Higher ultracapacitor volume and ongoing cost reduction and efficiency improvements were key factors in enabling the company to generate cash from operations for the fifth time in the past six quarters."

On a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, operating loss for the third quarter 2010 was $907,000, compared with an operating loss of $1.7 million in the same period last year. GAAP net loss for Q310 was $2.4 million or $0.09 per share, compared with a GAAP net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.18 per share, in Q309. GAAP operating loss and GAAP net loss comparisons are affected by:

* A $1.7 million operating expense accrual in Q310 to increase the reserve for pending settlement of alleged U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations.
* A non-cash loss of $814,000, or $0.03 per share, in Q310 vs. a non-cash loss of $2.8 million, or $0.11 per share, in Q309, based on the quarterly valuation of conversion features and warrants associated with convertible debentures issued in 2005.


On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported an operating profit of $1.6 million, in Q310 compared with an operating loss of $651,000 in the same period last year, and net income of $968,000, or $0.04 per diluted share in Q310, compared with net loss of $816,000, or $0.03 per diluted share in Q309. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is included as an addendum to this release.

GAAP gross margin was 39 percent in Q310, compared with 38 percent in Q309 and 40 percent in Q210. GAAP operating expenses, totaled approximately $13.2 million, or 42 percent of revenue in Q310, compared with $11.6 million, or 45 percent of revenue in Q309. Non-GAAP operating expenses totaled approximately $10.9 million, or 35 percent of revenue in Q310, compared with $10.8 million, or 41 percent of revenue in Q309. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $40.1 million as of September 30, 2010, compared with $36.2 million as of June 30, 2010. Complete financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations will be available with the filing of the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities & Exchange Commission.

Outlook: "We expect sequential top line growth of five to seven percent in the fourth quarter," Schramm said. "That growth and ongoing operating performance improvement should enable the company to continue generating cash from operations and be profitable on a non-GAAP basis at the operating income line going forward."

As previously disclosed in its public filings, the company has engaged in settlement discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) with regard to the ongoing FCPA investigations involving Maxwell's Swiss subsidiary, Maxwell S.A. As we have also previously disclosed, the company has negotiated an agreement in principle with the SEC to resolve the ongoing FCPA investigation for a payment of approximately $6.35 million, with half to be paid upon signing and the remaining half within 360 days of the Final Judgment, as well as certain other non-financial settlement terms. The settlement with the SEC remains subject to final approval of the Commission. Our settlement discussions with the DOJ are ongoing. As a result of the ongoing discussions with the DOJ, the Company accrued an additional $1.7 million in Q3 of 2010. We anticipate final resolution of this matter with both the SEC and the DOJ in the near future. As with all prospective settlements with government entities, final settlement remains subject to final approval of the SEC and DOJ. Additionally, there can be no assurance that negotiations to-date with the SEC and DOJ will result in final resolution, or that the amount of the loss upon final resolution will not differ significantly from the current estimate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures for internal evaluation and to report the results of its business. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. These measures are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, GAAP. These measures are intended to supplement GAAP financial information, and may be computed differently from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The company believes that these measures provide useful information to its management, board of directors and investors about its operating activities and business trends related to its financial condition and results of operations. The company believes that it is useful to provide investors with information to understand how specific line items in the statement of operations are affected by certain non-cash or non-recurring items, such as:

* stock-based compensation expense;
* amortization of intangible assets;
* expenses for matters related to the FCPA investigation, and
* gains or losses on embedded derivative and warrants.


In addition, the company's management and board of directors use these non-GAAP financial measures in developing operating budgets and in reviewing the company's results of operations, since such items have limited impact on current and future operating decisions. Additionally, the company believes that inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provide consistency and comparability with its past reports of financial results. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations and should be read in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the accompanying tables for a detailed reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, net income and diluted net income per share.

Management will conduct a conference call and simultaneous webcast to discuss third quarter financial results and the future outlook at 5:00 p.m. (EDT) today. The call may be accessed by dialing toll-free, [phone] from the U.S. and Canada, or [phone] for international callers, and entering the conference ID, 7MAXWELL.

Maxwell Technologies Introduces Ultracapacitor-Based Backup Power Module for Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems

High-Efficiency, Cost-Effective, Short-term Power Solution for Mission-Critical UPS Installations

Feb. 1, 2011 (PR Newswire)

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXWL) announced today that it is introducing a 56-volt ultracapacitor module designed specifically to address the short-term ride-through and bridge power requirements of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems for mission-critical installations such as data centers, hospitals, factories and telecommunication facilities. The new product will be on display at the DistribuTECH Conference and Exhibition, which opens tomorrow at the San Diego Convention Center.

Maxwell developed the UPS module in consultation with leading UPS system integrators to mitigate the effects of brief power disturbances on digital systems and sensitive medical and manufacturing equipment, and to provide bridge power to a generator or other long-term backup power source in the event of a complete power outage. The new product is being installed in several beta sites and the company will begin accepting additional orders in March. Key features and benefits include:

* Maintenance-free operation and estimated 14-year life ensure low cost of ownership;
* 3U and 4U rack-mount form factors for easy integration into standard equipment racks;
* Available in 4kW, 5kW, 6.5kW and 10kW versions to easily configure for UPS system requirements;
* Series connectable for systems requiring up to 750 volts;
* Rugged construction meets IBC Zone 4 earthquake resistance standard;
* Green technology with no heavy metals or toxic substances requiring special recycling.


"The energy storage segment of the global UPS market is valued at nearly $1 billion a year, so it represents an attractive opportunity for our products," said Van Andrews, Maxwell's senior vice president, sales and marketing. "The vast majority of power disturbances last a second or less, so ultracapacitors provide an excellent technical solution for the application, and their projected 14-year life in a typical UPS installation makes for a very compelling value proposition."

Unlike batteries, which produce and store energy by means of a chemical reaction, Maxwell's BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitor products store energy in an electric field. This electrostatic energy storage mechanism enables ultracapacitors to charge and discharge in as little as fractions of a second, perform normally over a broad temperature range (-40 to 65C), operate reliably through one million or more charge/discharge cycles and resist shock, vibration and overcharging. Maxwell offers ultracapacitor cells ranging in capacitance from 5 to 3,000 farads and multi-cell modules ranging from 16 to 125 volts.

Hallo Leute,
die Aktie steigt ohne, dass es jemand merkt-
jedefalls gibt es kein Kommentar

[gekko81]

Maxwell Technologies: DER AKTIONÄR sieht Superkondensatoren-Technologie vor dem Durchbruch zum Massenprodukt

Das in San Diego beheimatete US-amerikanische Unternehmen Maxwell Technologies wurde ursprünglich im Jahre 1965 gegründet, um als Zulieferfirma für die Regierung der USA Forschungs- und Entwicklungsaufgaben für das Militär und andere Regierungsstellen im Bereich Physik und Impulsstrom durchzuführen. Seit Beginn der 90er Jahre hat sich Maxwell Technologies jedoch immer mehr der Entwicklung und Produktion von kommerziellen Systemen gewidmet und sich als Hersteller von Energiespeicherlösungen einen Namen gemacht. Maxwell Technologies gehört zu den führenden Adressen weltweit im Bereich der sog. elektrischen Kurzzeitspeicher, zu denen Ultrakondensatoren, auch bekannt als Supercaps, Ultracaps oder Superkondensatoren zählen und die oft als Konkurrenz zu Batterien (sog. Langzeitspeichern) in elektronischen Bordnetzen stehen. Anwendungsbereiche für die Ultrakondensator-Technologie sind unter anderem: Automobilindustrie, Schwertransport, erneuerbare Energien, Reservestromversorgung, drahtlose Kommunikation und weitere elektrische Geräte für Industrie und Konsumenten, wo es auf den störungsfreien Einsatz von Anwendungen ankommt. An der Börse wird die Gesellschaft gegenwärtig mit rund 570 Millionen Dollar bzw. 408 Millionen Euro bewertet.

Am 3. November legte Maxwell Technologies Zahlen zur Geschäftsentwicklung im 3. Quartal 2011 vor. Das Unternehmen erzielte einen Quartalsumsatz von 41,1 Millionen Dollar. Das Vorjahresergebnis von 31,5 Millionen Dollar konnte damit um 31% übertroffen werden. Größte Umsatzzugewinne konnten dabei mit den Boostcap Ultrakondensatoren erzielt werden. Die Erlöse stiegen um 34% auf 24,9 Millionen Dollar, nach 18,6 Millionen in der Vergleichsperiode des Vorjahrs. Um 26% von 12,8 Millionen Dollar auf 16,2 Millionen Dollar stiegen die Umsatzerlöse von Hochspannungs-Kondensatoren und Mikroelektronikprodukten. Erfreulicherweise führten die steigenden Umsatzzahlen auch zu einem positiven Nettoergebnis. Nachdem im 3. Quartal 2010 noch ein Verlust von 2,4 Millionen Dollar ausgewiesen wurde, konnte diesmal ein Plus von 298.000 Dollar vermeldet werden.

DER AKTIONÄR erwartet, dass es dem amerikanischen Unternehmen noch in diesem Jahr gelingen werde, den "Sprung in die schwarzen Zahlen" zu schaffen. Richtig "in die Höhe schnellen" werde der Gewinn jedoch erst ab 2012. Für das nächste Geschäftsjahr erwartet das Anlegermagazin einen Gewinn von 1,15 Dollar je Aktie. Dann sei das Wachstumsunternehmen mit einem durchaus "günstigen KGV von 17" bewertet, so DER AKTIONÄR. Die Redaktion zeigt sich zuversichtlich, dass Maxwell Technologies als einer der wichtigsten Entwickler und Hersteller im Bereich der Stromspeicherlösungen zu den Hauptprofiteuren zählen dürfe, wenn Superkondensatoren den "Sprung vom Nischenprodukt zum Massenmarkt" in den kommenden Jahren vollziehen werden. Noch bewege sich das Volumen für Superkondensatoren im Bereich von Start-Stopp-Systemen, die in der Autoindustrie zur Spriteinsparung beim Ausrollen und Anfahren z.B. vor Ampeln zum Einsatz kommen und sich immer größerer Beliebtheit erfreuen, in der Größenordnung von rund 30 Millionen Dollar. Im Jahr 2020 dürfe es sich auf 350 Millionen Dollar mehr als verzehnfacht haben. Maxwell Technologies habe bereits wichtige Kunden für die hauseigenen Produkte gewinnen können. So vertraue Continental bei der Produktion des neuen Start-Stopp-Systems "E-Booster" auf die Superkondensatoren des US-Spezialisten. Aufgrund der günstigen Eigenschaften der Superkondensatoren gegenüber herkömmlichen Batterien (deutlich höhere Energieleistung als normale Kondensatoren, zehnfach höhere Leistung als eine Batterie, hohe Lebensdauer, bessere Zuverlässigkeit und größere Toleranz für Temperaturschwankungen) sähen Experten die Technologie auch auf dem Weg zum Einsatz in reinen Elektroautos. Der Chef des Elektroautoproduzenten Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, rechne durchaus damit, dass Akkus und Batterien zukünftig "durch Ultrakondensatoren ersetzt" würden. Anlegern, die auf den Durchbruch der Superkondensator-Technologie zum Massenprodukt spekulieren wollen, rät DER AKTIONÄR zum Kauf der Aktie von Maxwell Technologies mit Kursziel von 25,00 Euro und sieht mithin ein Aufwärtspotential von rund 66%.

Charttechnische Einschätzung: Aktuell attackiert die Aktie von Maxwell Technologies ein Mehrjahreshoch im Bereich von 20,50 bis 22,00 Dollar. Gelingt der Ausbruch über diesen Preisbereich eröffnet sich weiteres Aufwärtspotential bis zunächst 28,50 bis 30,00 Dollar, darüber könnte dann mit Kursen um 35,00 Dollar das Kursziel von DER AKTIONÄR in Reichweite rücken. Etwas problematisch gestaltet sich die Stopp-Platzierung. Seit August 2011 befindet sich die Aktie ausgehend von 13,75 Dollar im Rallyemodus. Mit einem Stopp unter diesem Niveau würden Anleger dem Investment ein Rückschlagpotential von rund 50% einräumen. Wem das zu viel erscheint, der wartet auf den nachhaltigen Ausbruch über 22,00 Dollar, kauft dann einen wahrscheinlichen Rücksetzer und sichert die Position mit einem Stopp im Bereich von 18,50 Dollar ab.

[theinfonaut]

Das Forum hier ist ja leider sehr ruhig, dabei macht MXWL doch gute Fortschritte in Richtung schwarze Zahlen und Kurse gen Norden. Gibt es hier noch andere interessierte?

[soben]

Dann beleben wir das Forum doch mal wieder mit einer kleinen Spekulation meinerseits... (reine Spekulation)

Durch die starke Orientierung von Tesla Motors auf eine eigene Batterieproduktion und das persönliche Interesse von Elan Musk an Ultra Capacitors, könnte ich mir vorstellen, das Sanyo, Panasonic und auch Maxwell ihre Technologie bei Tesla unter dem Dach zur nächsten Generation Batteriepack zusammenwerfen... Wenn man sich mal den Ausbau der Kapazitäten und die US Produktion von Maxwell ansieht, als auch die perfekte Ergänzung von Lithium Batterie und Ultra Cap überlegt, dann mag es vielleicht gar nicht so weit hergeholt sein... Eure Meinungen?

Und ja ich bin investiert...

[soben]

http://www.maxwell.com/products/ultracapacitors/docs/200904_…

[soben]

...mmmh da bin ich jetzt wohl alleine dabei...

[theinfonaut]

nein, schaue immer noch ab und zu mal hier hinein. Ansonsten gibt es bei Yahoo mehr Einträge http://finance.yahoo.com/mb/forumview/?&v=m&bn=b9ea0041-7517….
MXWL will stärker in den LKW Stop-Start Markt, denn hier ist enormes Potenzial. Ein weiteres Feld sind natürlich die Rekuperation. Tesla glaub ich ehrlich gesagt nicht. Wenn die Ultracaps nur mehr Energie Speichern könnten...

[soben]

Also ich glaube das Maxwell ne bunte Mischung an Absatzkanälen entwickeln wird. Rekuperation im Automobilen und Eisenbahn Bereich, Start Stop LKW/PKW. Dann noch Generatoren und Netzspeicher zum Spannungsausgleich und auch für EVs in einer Kombination mit Lithium Ionen Batterien. Da könnte auch was mit Tesla passieren.

[RedDevil85]

ab und zu gucke ich mal rein...

hab maxwell noch auf dem schirm, die zahlen waren sicherlich nicht das was erhofft war. Aber der die IR Präse auf der HP sieht schon etwas mehr licht am Ende des Tunnels. Mit dem Gridbalancing, Automotive und Storageprodukten bin ich ganz zuversichtlich, dass 2015 ein gutes Jahr wird... Vielleicht kommt noch nen kleine Überraschung dazu, wenn Tesla die Partner für die Giga Fab enthüllt. Who knows
