Just ensure that you top up the flux fluid in it at least twice a year.

34? Mine only goes to 31, what are you doing different Dukk? Are you using the improved charge convertor on it? Mine is version 2.1, I replaced it this February after the last one cacked on me. I heard talk of a new software upgrade that was downloadable to the charge unit. Is this what you have?

each farad is equivalent to 1,000 watts, so a 3 farad should have ur system runing smoothly without having to work ur battery too much as long as u have a battery that holds more charge like a yellow cap

Rule of thumb is 1 farad for every 1000W rms true power not Chinese fortune cookie power.

So 3 farad is not overkill for that setup, there is a little difference in the price for the model im looking for (like 10$ for a 2 compare to a 3) so im better with 3 for future upgrade etc..

I guess... do im wrong?
