whatusay45 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Kinda like having 28 2V super caps? Just rewire them down to a safe 14v? Could this be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 IIRC they use NiMH batteries, each of which having a nominal voltage of 1.2v, however they read around 1.4v when fully charged. You'd need a pretty meaty balancing circuit for these since unlike car batteries, they don't take kindly to overcharging. Also of note is NiMH batteries have a VERY picky charge profile. CC/CV up until they are near fully charge, at which point the charger needs to watch for a dip in the charge voltage, indicating the charge needs to be terminated. Not like lead acid car batteries where you can charge/float them at 13.8v for weeks Although an interesting idea, the amount of money and time you'd ultimately need to invest in battery management would outweigh any cost/weight/space/efficiency savings. ~~~~~~~~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...
