How To Charge Capacitor


Recommended Posts

Don't most Caps have a 'Charge Card' That charges it for you? I know Stinger caps do. Its like resistors or something? IDK someone correct me if i'm wrong on that last part.

first you neeed to dump all the voltage, use a cheap 12volt ground out teast lite. clip on the ground and probe on the power(disconect completrely from car first)when the lite goes out completely it is uncharged. hook up the ground only in your car to the cap. put the clip on the power lead (to be later connected to the cap) put the probe on the pos of the cap. power will bleed through the test lite a a slow rate, when the lite is extinguished the cap will be full, reconect and bump responsibly

what jack said.

some come with a card which is just a resister, but some cheap 3$ testlight will do the same. It slowly charges the cap, so it dont spark upon connecting posative and negative wires.

if its not hold a charge it maybe junk tho.

They should hold a charge for a fairly long time with no power to them. At least 20 minutes for sure on a cheap off brand name capacitor.
