SlamminBeats Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I use to have blacks an used them with blues .. When I bought blacks in eBay few years back I had 9 out if 12 bad they leaked or didn't charge .. I was always weary of hooking in series to amps because of this .. The way I did it was one pos from batt to amp dual input the other from cap bank to dual input .. Had some amp failures wasn't sure why but found two bad caps on my banks .. Question should grounds come from battery or frame .. I know there's a lot of current going through wires .. How many banks of blues for 20 k I have 4 now which helps with battery's but I know I need more just no room i would say its worth every penny to buy new that way you know they were not abused or are bad. I will never buy the black ones off people. The blue ones i would if they were a trusted source. for 20k i would have at least 12 banks maybe more? I'm going to have 8 banks on 10k. And im running 3 banks on 5k and a stock alt and hold great voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bump4life Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Why can't you charge to 17.0 with 6 blues? 2.7 x 6 is 16.2 and 2.8 x 6 is 16.8 so .2 more volt is not gonna hurt a thing. you can charge to whatever you want. the banks with 6 in series are rated to 16.2 MAX. with a surge rating of up to 17.1. personally i dont like to push things and break down the innards. will they take it for a burp or 2. sure. but i sure as hell wouldnt be driving around daily pushing 16.2 volts or more. thats asking for failure.

Bump4life Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 If they are balanced is key but meh don't be scared yea balancing is key, but i guess i dont like to push things past their rating for my peace of mind. I am sure they will do it for perieods, but my car shuts off at 16 volts, plus i dont drop any. but by all means if people equipment allows for a higher voltage use at own risk!

deathcards Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 updated with charging and size, new vs old. if you have any suggestions or if anything is unclear leave a post!! i have a charger that charges at 14.06v could i use it to introduce a charge i believe it has a 5 amp and 2.5 amp setting these are the ones i ordered http://www.ebay.com/itm/251472523845?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 any battery charger or power supply would be fine to charge the caps. They key is the resistive circuit. You need the resistors other wise your charger will go into its short protect mode, or if you dont have short protect then it will break. and youll be buying a new charger. the ones you ordered are good. for 30 dollars more you can get new ones though... those ebay ones are used as you can see in the description those balancing circuits are active. they will do nothing in most peoples systems especially if using the blue caps. once i add the balancing section it will be clearer crap didn't realize they were used fml -.- skar sk2500.1 0 gauge power and ground kunukonceptz alpine HUvxi65 components on BA gt-275new build log -> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150642-project-d-kon-deathcards-build-log/#entry2148821 2 x-15 sundowns singer alt, odyssey bat, and maxwell ultra caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump4life Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 so i confirmed something today about the boost caps. if your capacitors say boost cap they are last years model. i believe from 2012 to early 2013. on them it says patent pending. on the new blue caps it only says maxwell. My guess would be they got the patent approved. Thus is you have the boost caps they are still authentic maxwell. just all of them if bought will be used, so if someone is trying to sell you them for a new price id call them out.

gckless Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 So is there any interest for another group buy? I'm sure there's a bunch of people that want caps after reading this thread I'd be interested depending on price and when it happened. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

Bump4life Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 i have plenty of caps left after my 500 cap purchase (i have 300 left, sold 200 already) if people are interested enough I could set up a vendor account on here to make it legitimate and be able to advertise and sell i can also design full banks as well for any size power. sorry if this post is pushing it. this thread was created for informational purposes. lets get back on track. If anyone wants to be part of a group buy, please refer to the group buy thread located in the group buy section of this forum near the bottom. lets keep this thread information and Q & A.
