SuperCap's!!!! Fun little project I am working on that should become a permanent fixture in the trunk of my Wankel powered RX8.
Components: 6x 2.5V 700F Cap's, 2x 4-38V to 1.25-36V 5A adjustable step down modules(ebay 5$ special)
So, here is the purpose, 6x700F Caps in series(116.663F) for engine starting!!. Now I don't want to just feed 14V back into these caps for charging. I bought two(one each for 3 caps) of these 5A adjustable module's(with current limiting) and I hope they can limit the current enough so the caps don't burn them out. But question is- Wiring these up for recharge. I'm by-far no expert in wiring. But what I have so far, Positive of each cap wired to positive output of module(remember 3 caps per module set to 2.1-2.2V) and both NEG output of modules wired to NEG output of last cap(NEG that grounds to car) Now each Cap is in series, with solid copper connectors, will it hurt to have the modules wired in to each POS of caps? I wanted to ask BEFORE I apply power, I am well aware these things can pretty much kill me if they want.
Yes these caps have been insulated with extra thick HD rubber tape between the Alloy bars!
