Now, why would do something like go and confuse me like that?

Lots of info in there, some of it is helpful, some of it makes me realize I've forgotten a LOT of stuff and need to research to fill in some holes. That's why I'm doing this with friends; one is a mechanical/electrical engineer.

If we're going with twice the amperage, do we need one, all other things being equal, that's twice as many caps (of the same type) as the 500A controller? Can we go with the same number of caps if we have twice the ripple current handling ability?
