Prior measurements show parasitic draw going from capacitors to the car is 25ma. I have not yet measured between caps and battery.

These are the caps:

Max leakage is rated at 5ma. It should be lower than that when they aren't full?

The caps and batteries both came with pre-installed balancing resistors/LEDs. I have no idea how aggressive these are.

Will need to wait for the weekend to do much diagnostic, I get home after dark most days.
