Raptor Capacitor, any info on them?

It’s true! Look, Bobby magically jumps on his account when mysteriously Squirrel! logs off and Bobby dislikes my post above. Man, I’m good!

Bruh, it took me forever to see Batman throwing confetti.

4 years later...Raptor still in the vehicle, vehicle still starts, lights still don't dim, volume level is still consistent. I never knew what I was missing by not installing a tube of concrete. All I can say is that the Raptor Capacitor has certainly passed the test of time and is a recommended buy.

And called a tube of concrete, why?

Because it's literally a tube of concrete. Just for reference sake a cheap 500uF cap cost about $10. You would need 2000 of those caps to get to one farad.

That's the great thing about tubes of concrete - they rarely fail. I assume you know how to charge and test a cap, I mean tube of concrete.

Didn't realize this is a GOAT thread....

Not really, it is an OP update. Concrete for the win!

Now that we know how Roman concrete was made, we could make it bigger, faster, better.

Bigger and faster maybe. But never better.

Fair enough. Gooder!

People say capacitors are a marketing hype, but "super" and "ultra" capacitors are not marketing? Someone please explain that for me.

I've actually been running an eight or ten farad tube of concrete for a little over a year now. I didn't see any difference with it in or out except *maybe* slightly less accessory light dimming on bass boosted stuff, but I'm leaving it in for the voltage readout. Doesn't seem to be hurting anything but doubtful it's helping. Mine has moving blue LED's so it looks fancier than it actually is.

On a side note, I've seen (and smelled) a chonky 2 farad cap after it's released all it's magic smoke. I highly recommend not doing that. It literally smells like death.
