Silver Member Username: Impala63ragPost Number: 525 Registered: Sep-06 | I called batcap today after seeing something someone here posted about batcap. I was curious and read about them on their site as well as e-bay. So I called, and the rep was telling me that their 2000 model is like 30% cap, 70% battery. That it powers faster and recharges faster than the conventional car audio battery. Does anyone here have experience with them or know about the differences? Is batcap 2000 better? |

These types of capacitors have extremely high ESR values which makes them very bad choices for the uses mentioned above. They are usually carbon-film based capacitors in order to get such high values, as opposed to the much lower ESR electrolytic capacitors you tend to find in teh 20 volt 1Fd type cylinder style units. End result is avoid anything like the 100Fd capacitors like a plague. " http://www.wickedcases.com/caraudio/capacitors.html |
