Herokight Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Interesting.... I'm in for results from a battery test. Also, it's cool to see what that amp is capable of at those voltages. Planning on using them in my next build, whenever that'll be. Quote Lane AKA HeroKight '96 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4x4 R.I.P. Molliboo $200 for new tires, on a jeep!? Is she stealing them or building them with a heat gun and rubber bands? You hear that????That's a category 5 shit storm coming n8: hey you doing today.

SnowDrifter Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I think what would be interesting is getting a small extra batt that holds around the same as a 1 farad batt and do a side by side test of that. then do the same with a big batt and a 100 farad cap. then do a test with the small batt and 1 farad cap hooked up at the same time and the 100 farad cap and big batt hooked up at the same time to see how they work together. A AAA battery holds more than a 1f cap lol. I think a better comparison would be to spend an equal amount on caps and batteries and compare the two. We already have a valuable piece of information: that capacitors do work. But I think it would be cool is if we could take this a step further and see which would be more effective: spending money on caps vs spending money on batteries 1 Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali888 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 any testing with batteries yet? Quote @My OpiniOnZ MAy HaVe ChanGeD, But Not The Fact ThAt I'm Right.........!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markous Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 This thread definitely influenced my decisions in building my new set-up. XS Power XP750 and Stinger 1F cap for 550w rms. I am hoping to stay in the 14's all the time with that.

knowledge Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 what not test at idle? Quote REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

alaskanzx5 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 my guess would be because caps charge and discharge at the highest voltage potentail so they wanted to test it at the best voltage they could get from it.

Herokight Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Just reading through this again. If I'm understanding the results correctly, in a musical build where there is no extra room for an extra battery, a capacitor would suffice if extra power is needed? Edit - May have been said already, I'm just making sure my thinking is correct. Edited June 4, 2013 by Herokight Quote Lane AKA HeroKight '96 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4x4 R.I.P.

TaylorFade Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Interesting results. And surprising to say the least. Can I get a link to this "supercap" that was used? I find it very hard to believe that 1F outperformed 100F in a burst situation. That's extremely counterintuitive, all things being equal. I can tell you with utmost certainty that *my* supercaps absolutely pwn batteries on burps. It's not even close. And from my testing/experience, they work awesome in daily situations too. They're not cheap, but then again... neither are batteries. I guess I'll go troll CL for some car audio caps and do some of my own testing.

ncochran Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Lol the possibility of a 5-10% increase in power is super exciting. And to think of all the people that have been bashed for using caps lol. Awesome testing.
