Silver Member Username: QuirkySA, Texas Post Number: 367 Registered: Feb-07 | looks cool but seems like it would only be good for SPL competitions or short songs. It seems like the model 400 for $229.00 shows the capacity to be short lived; at 28.67 Amps = 5 minutes. However I don't know how strong 28 amps really are. |

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.glasswolf.net/papers/capacitors.html |

Bronze Member Username: Joe_mustardHuntsville, Alabama United States Post Number: 17 Registered: Jul-08 | Honestly, the only thing the batcap did for me that made things while was make it easier to hook things up in my trunk. I pretty much just used it as a distribution block. |
