i bought a stinger 1 farad digital capacitor used with no box or manual or anything and for some reason the led keeps flashing non stop anybody know why?

 

if it's a "digital" cap it should have a voltage sidplay on it. is the voltage display lighting up?. Is the cap wired to power and ground?.

 

ya it is digital and it is reading the correct voltages. I have wired up lots of caps and lots of systems. This is just something i've never came upon.

 

google?

 

that was my first try...

 

bump still need help

 

just hook it up, its a capacitor and its rather useless.

 

why is it useless?

 

This is where yuli is coming from 'prove to me it is has any value, other than a pretty flashing display'

My thoughts on capacitors are "what does does a capacitor do, and what problem does it solve? is it a solution or a band-aid or does it make thing worse? Finally why do you think you need one?"
In other words is it science or is it jewelry for your car

 

i guesss that makes sense, from my understanding for every 1000w that your amp draws you should have 1 farad in reserve power sitting there. At the moment i'm not planning on adding another battery, but am looking into a bat cap. The capacitor is hooked up, it is flashy and stuff, just wondoring if anyone knew why it was flashing before i take out the led because it ****'s me off when i'm driving at night and there's a flashing capacitor a foot from my face due to the sytem being right beside me inbetween the front two seats...
