Review on πŸ”‹ Stinger SPC5010 Pro Hybrid 10 Farad Capacitor: Enhance Performance in Black by Hesham Peltier

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Incorrect claim of 10 farads. Measured capacitance 0.5 farad

Voltage dips and swells measured with an oscilloscope showed very little improvement. Thus, the capacitance of the element was checked in farads, where 1 farad = 1 volt changes in 1 second with a limited current of 1 ampere. The cell is expected to take 100 full seconds to charge from 0 volts to 10 volts at 1 amp. Where the capacitor is 10 farads x 10 volts = 100 seconds at 1 amp to charge. This "10 Farad" capacitor took only 5 seconds to charge to 10 volts. My 1994 1 farad stinger capacitor still had 1 farad capacitance after all the years taking 10 seconds in the same test.

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
