Thoughts about charging the supercapacitors in my Bluetooth speaker from a mains power pack. A high charge current is fine until the first protection circuits kick in. Then a lower current is necessary to ensure the protection circuits can keep the capacitors from going over voltage.
I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor). However, this editor (which is brilliant and I love it) is being scrapped on September 20th :/

Hi Julian. Nice video. Could you put a panel at the side of the vidio with stats on it, showing charging & discharge times in motion (Sorry, a bit of a geeky request)!
Also… I have a load of capacitors that I cut off of circuit boards, can't remember the exact numbers, but something like 2 x 400's, 2 x 480's, 2 x 750's… Would it be possible to connect up loads of different sizes to make one battery?
Nice one Julian
its not 700 farads divided by 6. its actually 700. and u should be putting in 1000 amps, not 1 amp.
Could you use a dc converter and current limit the output in order to charge?
iMAX b6 IS BETTER solution for charging supercaps?
if i cant charge the caps in a few seconds means it has no use
I charge by solar
Pls let me know of what is rated amp on your fuse..thanx a lot
I have the same blue capacitor bank and is it bad to dump an initial 45 amps at 12 volts into the bank, slowly decreasing in amperage and increasing in voltage up to 15-16vdc? I did this roughly 10 times total and didn't see any issues, the caps held up just fine and now it is wired in
seriesPARALLEL with my car battery. It is amazing how much louder my 400 watt Rockford Fosgate amp gets with these caps installed.your video not finish before fully charged..
what about a accu car battery charger they go to 14volts
I use a hand cranked dynamo to charge mine. It starts off hard to turn (dead short) but within 30 seconds it becomes easier and easier. I can charge the same pack you have in 5 minutes
Capacitor #2 is going to get a "Blanket Party" by the other 5.
Would a MPPT controller be put in there instead of the light?
I'm a noob to electronics. Can you add a parts list for the bulb in series load because it seems like something I could use on a lot of projects especially ensuring that caps are discharged safely (as opposed to using a screwdriver). I understand the circuit but don't know the names of the connectors. Excellent videos and channel Julian.
