Provided is an electric double layer capacitor including a large capacity
single cell having a large electrostatic capacity and a small capacity
single cell are connected to the same exterior case in parallel, and a
thickness of a separator of the large capacity single cell is made
thicker than a thickness of a separator of the small capacity single
cell. With this structure, a supply amount of an electrolyte solution to
the large capacity single cell is markedly increased compared with the
small capacity single cell, thereby being capable of preventing
degradation of the large capacity single cells and the small capacity
single cells and providing the electric double layer capacitor having an
excellent cycle life and having a large power storage amount while
keeping characteristics capable of instantaneously allowing large current
to flow.
