Yes, it is crazy idea but why not? We have oled, epaper and nixie watch but use supercapacitor to power energy hungry led displays ?

FEATURES in new 2016 version

Super capacitors are new power source, compared to batteries need different charging and power usage.
In previous version I have used 10F 2.7V supercap and step-up converter, it can suck scap voltage up to 0.3V
this solution effectively using energy but but unfortunately consume much more energy than standby RTC.

I have now about 7 days standby life on 1,5F supercapacitor

- optional DS3231 or RX8130CE rtc
- atmega timer2 async soft RTC
- 2x smd display 2 lines !!
- 1,5F 5V supercapacitor
- easy charging
- no balancer,

FUNCTIONS

Hi, this can save energy using e-paper display. you only need energy to change the display content and then you saving. For night, it can have really small led light.
