I originally posted this in different 360 thread but I've been doing a bunch of reading
I've been looking at caps for battery replacement, need the largest you can find (capacitance wise)
I just picked up two 18,000 microfarad, probably 1/3 of what I need?
Not going to have time to test anything as I've taken on too much before surgery
Something about size of Ballistic battery (made up from a set of 4 smaller caps) around 30v (it will only charge to input voltage)
It will be even lighter than battery but may not be much smaller (maybe even bigger?)
You'll have to kick over a few times to charge it up and must have lights you can switch off
needs to be around 4 amps equivalent
Basically you connect same as a battery, red to +, other terminal to ground
There really isn't much information easily available other than people trying to sell you a cap
I did find this though

360 needs roughly 4 amps for normal running so you would need around 4~6 farads or a big array of parallel connected small ones?
But, amps are not volts, generator doesn't 'load balance until around 3,000 rpm, I think amperage may be close at lower rpm?
I know there is around 1~1.5 amps 'spare' at 3~5,000rpm
Won't be doing any tests for a few months though
