Supercapacitor experiments

Greencap 16V 83F (6x 2.7V 500F)

Each cap can handle 2.7V long term, 2.85V short term

Balancer discharges overcharged caps through 1 ohm resistor set once they reach 2.8 - 2.85 V

Replacing lead acid battery with supercapacitor

UPS (replaced 12V 7Ah)

8W LED was running for over 5 minutes

100W incadescent bulb was running for 30 seconds

Piaggio scooter (replaced 12V 10Ah AGM)

Charges to 14.4V (in ~1 minute)

After sitting for 9 hours voltage drops to 12.2V (cranks up)

After sitting for 15 hours voltage drops to 11.2V (cranks up)

At 8V (cannot crank up)
