I used to blow up those caps you mentioned in vocational DC electronics class in High School by attaching 110AC to them - BAM-Poof!
I think our good MOD has pointed out a real safety problem with this battery. Some might say it is too high a price to pay for what is otherwise a rather cool battery. It's a real good start sounds like though.... Maybe in time they can make it safer.
