Which Capacitor to use?
 

Need to install one on a Mamba Max......is the Novak 2700uf a good choice?
Thanks!

Yes the HV one... I have them on all of mine...

I was told by Griffin that the novak one is a 25volt cap and you need 35volt cap that is rated between 2200 to 3300uf.You can get the cap you need from digikey.com

The novak is 25v which is fine for 4s and a little tight for 5s (mine runs ok on 5s) - 35v would give you more headroom but make sure you get a high temp low esr cap

Which one? Novak 5685 1800uf 35v or 5684 2700uf 25v...does the uf make a deffernce?

We no longer use individual caps on our BL controllers. We have switched over exclusively to the TransCap modules. We do offer some of the earlier caps here:

Power Capacitors

We discontinued all single caps from distribution; but, the ones above are still available.

I guess I dont understand the 5684 states that it is a Trans cap?

That P/N is the TransCap module for the 2s-4s HV controllers.

So I go back to my original question,,,,which capacitor?

How many cells are you running?

We are running 4s.....

The 5684 is for 2s to 4s usage.

If you need one,I'll have one at the store tom.
5684 is the cap's I'm using I have 2 extra ones

Thanks....

thread jacking!~!!!!:lol:

hey, say i didnt want to pay $15 for a flipping capacitor, what constitutes as a low ESR?

and close do i need to mount mine?. like...within 3-4 inches?
