Coolio. I was starting to think of "ultracaps" as short-term regenerative braking storage devices, as in (I think) the AFS Trinity car. However, the idea that there are fewer control electronics is very enticing because a simpler system implies a more robust system.
A battery that gets a 3X lifespan boost will increase the cost-effectiveness of the hybrids.
If you build a better hybrid, they will make a better battery,
