[QUOTE="TaylorFade, post: 8168980, member: 618111"] It's actually way more than that. If you calculate the number of Joules in a battery vs. a cap... it's retarded lopsided. Even if we don't take into account the very high ESR (and resulting voltage drop) of the capacitor. A big G31 batt can be upwards of 40,000 Joules. A 100F cap is maybe 1,000J. Maybe. (taking into account the operating voltage). It's estimated that the big supercapacitor banks that some of us use are ~ 4,000-6,000 Joules each. A Joule is a watt/second. Meaning one Joule can support one watt for one second. I honestly can't tell if the OP is trolling or not though. I don't know why I feel like all of these keystrokes are wasted. [/QUOTE]
