capacitors

I'm new here so I may have missed it. Have you had any discussion about capacitors as a battery replacement (not an assist) ?

Auxilliary

Postby retepsnikrep » Tue Sep 18, 2007 4:01 pm

I use a Maxwell 58F 15V Supercapacitor instead of a 12v pb auxilliary battery in my van conversion. I have thought about buying some more to buffer the power from my aging Li-ion main drive pack. :)
