My LiPo pack has a resting voltage of 16.8v. It took a 3.5Ah charge last night (rated to 5Ah).
My 6s supercap bank has a max voltage rating of 16.2v, so I'll have to figure something out. Maybe simply hooking up the battery to the vehicle will drive the voltage down to ~16v. Or I could forgo the caps altogether since my 60C rated LiPo can output 300A. I've measured my car at 290A to start. I already have a 300A breaker.
The TSX has a parasitic drain of 21.5mA, so my 5000mA battery should go 9.5 days until dead. I'll need to plug in a battery maintainer if I eliminate the Pb battery since I go more than a week between driving the car. I'll also need to purchase a 2nd battery so I can swap them in and out.
