[QUOTE="Steven, post: 58915, member: 544311"] Those instructions meant to hook the cap up in series with a light of your own. this would limit the amount of current allowed to flow to the cap and allow it to charge. Using a light also has the added benifit of telling you when it is charged. When the cap is done charging the light goes out. Since you misunderstood the instructions, it is possible to have fried the cap. I would hook a lest light up between the two posts on the cap and see if the light comes on, if it does, the cap was charged and should be discharged then recharged properly. If the light doesn't come on, try charging the cap again, this time with the test light hooked in series with it. batt(+) -> cap(+) cap(-) -> light -> ground If the light comes on the cap should be charging. leave it for a while, and see if the light goes out. when it does the cap is charged and ok. If after a couple of hours the light is still on, the cap is fried. [/QUOTE]
