1. An ultracapacitor module comprising:
an enclosure including a top enclosure member and a bottom enclosure member connected to each other via at least one interlocking mechanism, and
a plurality of ultracapacitors housed within the enclosure wherein at least one ultracapacitor of the plurality of ultracapacitors is secured to the enclosure,
wherein at least one of the top enclosure member and the bottom enclosure member includes at least one individual opening through which the at least one ultracapacitor is provided,
wherein the top enclosure member and the bottom enclosure member partially enclose the plurality of ultracapacitors,
wherein the ultracapacitor module satisfies one or more of the following conditions upon being subjected to a vibration profile in accordance with ISO 16750-3-2012, Table 12 and IEC 60068-2-64: a capacitance within a rated capacitance value as determined in accordance IEC 62391-1, Method 1A, an equivalent series resistance within a rated equivalent series resistance value as determined in accordance IEC 62391-1, a leakage current within a rated leakage current value as determined in accordance IEC 62391-1, an operating voltage with a rated operating voltage value.
