What are the dimensions per cap?

Where are the buss bars sourced from?

Explain this balancing system

dimensions of cap itself or the complete bank?

caps them selves are 2.5 inch diameter by 6.5 inches tall. 8 banks with my bus bars were 16.5 by 19.5.

bus bars that i did were made by toolmaker. I designed them in google sketch up and sent him the drawings to make.

i designed them to be able to run a continous 1600 amps which is a safe operating load for the 8 banks of caps

the banks are hooked up in a parallel series configuration. so 8 caps in a parallel config balance each other since they are in parallel. you count on tolerances being plus minus20% each way. so they level each other out.

to keep close balancing you want to limit the series connections to 6.

i wouldnt buy those ebay ones. you are paying for used caps that were probably used daily in a bus. they do have a million cycle life and many people run used caps but the price is a little steep. id say 300 for used caps is most id pay for the new 2.7 volt ones. plus those are active balancing and are good but passive is what you want when you arent pushing tyhe limits on these.

a typiocal new bank is around 350. and can support 2-2.5k with good wiring. and a H/O alt

I dont know what mouser you are looking at, but this has been the price since i have started looking at them.

57 a piece if you buy 25 which is 4 banks. so thats 342 plus ship per bank caps only
