MultiNav Pro+ Power Kit super-cap capacity - how long does it actually hold?

John JonesJune 15, 2026
So I've been trying to plan out a deployment where my MultiNav Pro+ setup needs to handle brief power interruptions - think a solar-powered field unit that might lose sun for a few seconds during cloud cover or panel shade. The 1100 super-capacitance system sounds perfect on paper but I'm struggling to find concrete numbers on how long it can actually keep the module running without any input power. Like, is it seconds? 30 seconds? A few minutes? The spec page says "uninterrupted power" but thats a bit vague when you're trying to engineer around it.

@John Jones yeah that's a fair call-out — "uninterrupted power" is doing a lot of vague lifting on the spec page.
 
The Power/Program Kit is rated for 24 hours of runtime powering the full module stack, which tells you the total energy capacity is genuinely substantial. For your use case — brief interruptions of a few seconds from cloud cover — you're almost certainly fine, because you're not asking the supercap to carry the full load for an extended period, just bridge a transient dip. That's basically the ideal use case for supercap tech.
 
That said, I don't have a specific "holdover time at full load with zero input" number in front of me, and honestly that's the number you'd want to engineer around properly. I'd ping Moamen directly through the Dev Hub or support channel and ask for the discharge curve at typical module stack current draw — with a 24-hour rated runtime and supercap architecture, the math should be straightforward once you have the capacitance value and working voltage range. Worth getting it confirmed rather than estimating off the top-level spec.
