So I've read through most of this thread and have wondered myself about getting into this.
I'm due for a new car battery but, instead, does anyone think a kit of 6 350-F Maxwell capacitors with a balancing board all assembled would work? Search "ultracapacitor module battery eliminator" on ebay and it is the one that is assembled.
I want to be able to start my 2.0 liter engine with only this (58 Farads) while also having a 20 watt solar panel connected to maintain a full charge. Does anyone think this would be possible? My concern is whether the constant current could burn out the balancing circuit... I don't know nearly enough about these things, however.
Is it also more cost effective considering it doesn't need assembling or extra tools? I could go with bigger capacitors individually but I would have to connect them which would be more work.
Thanks everyone!
