For whatever reason, supercapacitors seem to be harder to find now than they were 5 years ago. However, lithium has come a long way. Granted it can still melt down, but LiFePO4 is much less likely to.

I took a chance on some $12usd shipped AliExpress 20Ah cylindrical cells, and assembled a pack out of them. So far, they appear to exceed their rated specifications.
