The trick with supercaps is active power managment: using more voltage than
needed that then via a swiching powersupply is efficientlt brought up or
down to the needed voltage... Can anybody recomend a usefull mini SMPS chip?
Or are there any published LED driver circuits?

Even for disposable batteries this circuit is interesting!
