OK, I calculate that I can fit 12 of the 6 cap sets inside the volume of an F250 battery.. 2Lx2Wx3H. So I'll start low with just 2 sets for 166F, then if it seems wimpy or needs more power I'll get another 2 or 4 sets. At that point I'll CAD up a wooden box to hold the final set. It will be awesome to have a car battery that never really dies. I used to work for a company called ISEcorp. We used these ultracaps from Maxwell to power transit buses for different transit agencies. Company got sold to Blueways. Now I still see some of our connectors, reject ucaps and balancing resistor assemblies on Ebay. I find it cool that even the trash made it self this lasting. I think the buses are still running around (chicago, edmonton, longbeach, SanDiego and las vegas). Anyhoo, I would just like to mention that the oil inside the capacitors, however small a quantity, is a carcinogen. Never handle one of these things bare skin. We did many tests with overloading using very large electrical test machines. At worst the sides burst, but mostly they just puff out. That puff contains the carcinogen oil and so that would be the bigger concern for me, knowing what I know.
