Can we run with the capacitor discussion for a minute? What size/type of capacitor are we talking about? I don't mind using a cap and a kick starter, it will save me weight on the battery, starter, and associated wiring.

Could I build a reliable bank of caps from old electronics that I can salvage?

If that becomes the case, I've got 28.8V worth of a 6.5Ah pack to use for something else entirely!

What is or where can I find the low-end voltage (at ~50% SOC) of the NiMH modules?
