Rated voltage is why I purchase Maxwell. They are rated at 2.7v, so a 6 series string has no risk of overvolting.
The BCAP3400 is rated to 2.85v, so I put together a 5 series string. That's cutting it close, but the literature allows a max of 3v.
LEDs are fine for balancing because caps that are already closely matched will not go that out of balance to begin with. The point isn't to bleed off massive overvoltage from an alternator, but to bleed off slight imbalances between the caps.
