You just have to put regulation in for supercapacitors that batteries don't need. Batteries have natural internal resistance, so they "meter" the power out, whereas capacitors are perfectly happy releasing all of their energy at once (also known as a bomb). If accounted for I don't see it as a big deal, but it is a potentially explosive risk.


Thanks!
