Abstract
An electrical circuit is provided including a substrate having a generally planar surface. A supercapacitor assembly includes a container having a length in a longitudinal direction. The supercapacitor assembly includes an electrode assembly enclosed within the container, and the electrode assembly may have a jelly-roll configuration. An angle ranging from about 0 to about 30 degrees is formed between the longitudinal direction of the container and the generally planar surface of the substrate.
