It's supposed to stop cycling the grid heater once it detects the speed above something like 10 MPH.

My caps are the 3400 F ones that have a slightly higher voltage rating, so I only bought 5 of them. I might still replace one of the Pb-acid batteries with the cap bank.

I've got a 6s 400 F rated caps in my motorcycle for the past 5 years and no issues.
