Finally, I get the SBMS powered up with a bank of 8 super capacitors in series. This is a "playing with" video, so I'm learning as I go 🙂

    Let's see, you a cable with 8 wires not connected to the controller with 8 connections. Maybe there is the problem. No maybe about it.

    A slightly off-topic question: what charger are you currently using to charge your NiMH batteries (all the Eneloops you have)? I have an Ansmann "energy 4" (which wasn't the cheapest at it's time) and I have the feeling it cooks my batteries so they deteriorate quite quickly.

    Use to use a capacitor forming/charging tool while powering up power distribution frames in the telephone company. Your lightbulb brought back memories.

    Julian PLEASE get a CC bench power supply. ( I know you won't)!

    So, a solar charge controller can't charge a low battery? Couldn't you connect your 12 or 18 VDC to the PV terminals?

    link to where you got the super capacitors?

    Wow. Looking at the ElectroDacus site, you've got quite an investment there. I live in Florida. I wonder if I should load my roof with solar collectors. Thanks for the video.

    What a lovely package to relieve through the mail – I've had one of those recently :-). I've been conducting my own experiments with lithium charged by solar – looking forward to your results. Thanks for another very interesting video Julian and a nice cliff hanger!

    Is there any benefit to one cell arangment over the other?

    Is the bulb basically acting like a fuse?
