Re: caps n more caps (3.00 / 0) (#2)

The larger the capacitor, the more current you can get out of it.
The cap limit is "how many amps" it can hold before it is "full".
Naturally, you can't get 12V amps after the cap is "empty".

From my testing, I'd say it takes BIG caps to do much, and the charging current decreases with every step, so unless the charging current is small (tiny?), it is not worth the effort.
