Maxwell Ultra-Cap's/Lithium cells hybrid pack

Yeah, or a high-output alternator and a second battery. :(

I was actually looking at regulating the lights to a solid 12v even though they won't be quite as bright. That way, they won't dim when the electrical system goes from ~14.4v to ~12v when the bass hits. But a linear regulator would be large and toasty.

Brian, i have been thinking. You know when you said all that matters is the average power for a ultra cap... that still didn't sit right with me. So i was thinking is it the term 'mean', the mathematical term, it's kind of like average. Only in this app, I would be higher than average power output (from battery).

Do you know what i mean when i say the 'mean' discharge, not the average discharge? It would be a little higher than average.

I am not totally sure if thats the term, so if you think you know what im talking about, if you could help out?

Well, IIRC, "mean" is the physical center value of a dataset, whereas "average" is the sum of the values of the dataset divided by the count of numbers in the dataset. If this is correct (and please let me know it it's not), what do you mean (no pun intended :))?

BTW: Where did I say that? I'm trying to think what I might have been talking about...

(no pun intended) lol i was going to say that :005:

I guess it's not mean, it must be called something else. It will come to me, some like RMS, but not...
