I think I may have chosen the wrong LEDs - they went from bright to dark in a matter of minutes, with the cap bank stabilizing around 12.5v. I'm thinking rather than 30ma continuous forward current (100ma peak), I might want something more like 2-5ma, and/or a slightly higher voltage.
On the other hand, they'll probably very aggressively keep the caps in balance.

Maybe it was because it was the first time I'd charged them? I'll keep an eye on it and see.
