{"title":"Super Capacitor - 2.5V 700 Farad","handle":"super-capacitor-2-5v-700-farad","url":"/products/super-capacitor-2-5v-700-farad","description":"When I was studying power supply electronics in school, the instructor always talked about adding BFC's to the circuit - Big Freakin' Capacitors. This here is UHFC - Unbelievably Huge Freaking Capacitor. If you have a super-cap project that needs up to 700 Farads of capacitance, check it out. Like most super-caps it has a 2.5V-max rated voltage, and remember that unlike a voltage-output battery the voltage drops immediately as it discharges.You can use this as a stand-in for a battery, its huge but can charge fast and doesn't degrade like NiMH or Li-Ion/LiPoly batteries. We like to refer to this MAXIM super-cap calculator  to figure out how long we can run a project.Super capacitors are powerful beasts: the ultra low ESR means that shorting the outputs will create a big spark! Care must be used when working with charged super-caps, these are only for experts who are comfortable with high-current-capable power supplies.","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":12883,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-1885","price":38.92,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":2,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
