Xaborus Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I found a guy on youtube who replaced his car batteries with a series of six (2.5V) 2600 farad super capacitors. Thats a total of 15,600 farads and the ability to charge up to 15 volts. You guys thinking what I'm thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmet Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 People already doing this on this forum... Talk to SnowDrifter Yeah, but he don't got 15k farads lol Nobody has 15k farads, you lose on total capacitance when they're in series. i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah.. You want this to happen to you? Give decent handshakes people. I was gifted with an innate ability to distribute wholesale ass beatings in a timely and orderly fashion.

Wicks Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Found it: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/157561-capacitors-whats-the-real-story/page-13 Capacitance in parallel is additive, not in series, it reduces. Therefore seven 2600F caps in series would equal ~370F. They require (should have) a balancing circuit so they don't charge at different voltages. A balancing circuit will slowly drain an electrical system, therefore I'd be a little leery at only running caps. A conventional battery will still have a TON more energy storage and be much more reliable as your sole power source. This cap-bank is a great idea for some voltage stabilization, but I wouldn't get rid of my batteries quite yet.

mrd6 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Caps are used to bridge the gap between your alternator charging voltage and your battery resting voltage. Adding more batteries really doesnt help much in keeping your voltage up above resting ~13volts. The capacitors act as a voltage stabilizer like Wicks was saying. It can help hold a healthier voltage while your other components continue to supply the required operating current. Losing your batteries for caps isnt a good idea...adding some caps to your current charging system tho, can help alot My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
