Hi All,
Anyone use a car audio cap in a cap dump circuit?
I have a cap dump circuit working ok now. I'm using two 555 timers the trigger a relay on for about 1 sec and then off for about 5.
It delivers current pulses anywhere from .4 Amps to 2.25 amps.
The cap I'm using is just 4 of the biggest ones I had laying around in parallel and they are all at different voltages. (I know, not ideal)
Is this why my current pulses vary so much?
I ran it last night (about 7 hrs) B1 was at 100% and B2 was at about 50%. This morning I check and found B1 at 50% and B2 at 12.6 (just about full charge.
Anyway, just checkin in.
Cheers!
