A capacitor-based battery module includes a housing, a positive terminal, a negative terminal, one or more capacitor-based battery cells, and one or more first switches. The one or more capacitor-supported battery cells are arranged in the housing and contain one or more battery terminals and one or more capacitor terminals. The one or more battery terminals are connected to battery electrodes. The one or more capacitor connections are connected to capacitor electrodes. At least one of the one or more battery terminals and the capacitor terminals is connected to the negative terminal. One or more first switches are configured to connect the one or more capacitor terminals to the positive terminal. A total voltage of the capacitor-backed battery module is measured across the positive terminal and the negative terminal. |
