Here's my 400f 6s capacitor video.

I will see what i can do to charge it up to 15-16v from a battery (lithium ion, with a boost converter)
Maybe a usb c powerbank that can deliver 12v and 100 w may be a good multi purpose choice. |
I let my friend ride my 600cc bike once and he turned it off with the kill switch rather than the key. The headlight drained it down to the point it could no longer be started with the starter.
I was able to barely get it started by coasting down a hill and popping the clutch. It sputtered quite a lot before finally starting fully. I've got fuel injection, so fuel pumps, ECU, and spark coils need sufficient voltage to run.
What is the farad rating of your caps, and how many did you put in series? Are you running any balance circuitry?
