According to AFS Trinity, the dual energy storage system at the heart of the XH-150S uses off-the-shelf lithium-ion batteries, buffered by fast, electronic energy storage devices called ultracapacitors that handle high currents during acceleration that would otherwise heavily stress and reduce the useful life of the batteries.
