Re: Help Me With this Cap
It looks like a regular electrolytic capacitor. The angle of the pic makes it hard to read the uF and voltge though.Originally posted by JBotts420 View Post--- begin sig file ---

Re: Help Me With this Cap
If the cap in question looks exactly like in the picture, then it likely isn't from one of the good brands.
Do you know where this cap is used or what device it's coming from?
The one in the picture seems to be either 2700uF or 4700uF, 10v. Can't say for sure, though.Comment

Logo looks like it's Marcon.
Looks like 2700uF 10v to me.Mann-Made Global Warming.

Re: Help Me With this Cap
I can make out the "700" anyway.
2700 and 4700 are the only common x700uF sizes.
Doesn't look big enough to be a 4700uF.Mann-Made Global Warming.

Re: Help Me With this Cap
Its used to save the battery life in RC Nitro cars. I was trying to figure out what so i could just go ahead and make one for myself.Comment

Re: Help Me With this Cap
I don't really see how a capacitor of only 2700uF or so could save battery life...
Sounds something like that "Energy-saved box" which claims to "stop your wiring from getting the fevers""Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: Help Me With this Cap
Yea i dont know either but all you had to do was plug it into receiver box on an aux slot and it supposed to save the battery on your RC. At least thats what the add was claiming.Comment

Re: Help Me With this Cap
I think it's unlikely to do much.
A super-capacitor fully charged from an external power source might help (as it would probably be like a 2nd battery, as far as I know) but this thing you describe here sounds like a scam.
What is the website it came from?
Edit: I think what you're looking at is one of these: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...zing-Capacitor
Doesn't say anything about saving battery life, but as you can see I think it does have a point to it.Last edited by Agent24; 02-02-2011, 02:43 AM."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"
