Ok James

So, if I had a 10,000 farad capacitor charged up to 9 Volts and I connected a 9 ohm resistor across it, I wouldn't get 1 Amp of current flow when I flipped the switch?
Of course the voltage would drop over time..



That's why I said "A Capacitor works almost exactly like rechargeable battery."

If someone could come up with a cheap 10,000 farad capacitor the size of
a AAA cell, then all our battery problems would be over..
It would be the ultimate rechargeable battery/cap..
