Which Capacitor to use?

[lwracer]

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

[Arct1k]

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

[lwracer]

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.
