That's a good idea, if only for safety. You can also just put about 10K in resistance across each set to slowly bleed off the voltage. If you accidentally short the terminals of a 10000uF cap to something (including your hand) it will arc and blow a crater in it. I have tempered steel tools with permanent divots in them from this happening.I was thinking of putting a power on led across the caps to bleed them off, but im not sure if it will be necessary when the regulator circuit is built.
