2600 Farad Ultra Capacitors

Ultracap Bank
Ultracap Bank

Just a quickie to note down the current progress of another project – Ultracapacitors.
Pictured right is a bank of 6 2.5v 2600F Maxwell Boostcaps, for a total of 15v at 433.333F. A total energy storage of  48.7kJ.

Coming soon will be the inclusion of charge balancing, using Zener diodes & integrating a DC-DC converter on the output to hold the bank voltage at 12v when being used.
