That's an average power of

Power = 5A \$\times\$ 4V SAY \$\times\$ 100 \$\mu\$S / 10s = 20 W \$\times\$ 1/100,000 = 0.2 milliWatt ! :-)

Average power is easy for almost any battery. You just need a store to accomodate the pulse.

A capacitor that will "droop" say 0.5V in 100 \$\mu\$S needs to be

C = I \$\times\$ V \$\times\$ t = 5 \$\times\$ 0.5 \$\times\$ 100/1000000 = 250 \$\mu\$F.
Use a say 1000 \$\mu\$F and it should do well.

A supercap would do well here if voltage rating is OK.

That's an average power of

Power = 5 A \$\times\$ 10.5 V \$\times\$ 100 \$\mu\$s / 10 ms = 0.525 W.

Average power is easy for almost any battery. You just need a store to accomodate the pulse.

A capacitor that will "droop" say 0.5V in 100 \$\mu\$s needs to be

C = I \$\times\$ t / V = 5 A \$\times\$ 100 \$\mu\$s / 0.5 V= 1000 \$\mu\$F.

That's an average power of

Power = 5A X 4V SAY X 100 uS / 10s = 20 w X 1/100,000 = 0.2 milliWatt ! :-)

Average power is easy for almost any battery. You just need a store to ccomodate the pulse.

A capacitor that will "droop" say 0.5V in 100 uS needs to be

C = I x V x t = 5 x 0.5 x 100/1000000 = 250 uF.
Use a say 1000 uF and it should do well.
