Total Capacitance?

i run my 5b conversion around a lot of petrol bajas, with all the flammable liquids around i would rather not have the 8s crack and spark when starting up... just to be on the safe side... Plus the big scary spark makes me scared

FB5b, it certainty does do my head in... i was looking at 5ohm 10 watt and their monsters! i would love to have a definitive value,

so thats, 4x220uf on the cap pack, and 2x 680uf on the MMMXLv2?

according to brians calculator i will require a 45ohm, 20watt resistor to charge caps in half a second...

that seems CRAZY high?
