      A supercapacitor is defined by low voltage but high potential for energy storage, as in high capacitance. It’s energy per unit of mass is far greater than regular batteries. Therefor we have low voltage storage solutions and high voltage energy distribution across a grid, which results in the witicism of the above comment.

      If potential meant voltage in every context then we wouldn’t need the word voltage.
