[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 4134378, member: 570956"] Exactly. Misinformation is the primary selling point for capacitors. I tell somebody, "Your capacitor only works for a fraction of a second", and they come back with "Look here on the box, it says it has a 5 second discharge time", but what they don't understand is that your cap is never completely discharged. It is only discharged to a point where it's voltage is lower than that of the battery. Which is most cases is only about 10% of the full discharge time. [/QUOTE]
