8S CapPack 1680UF Capacitor Pack, 35V

This is the Castle Creations 8S CapPack 1680UF Capacitor Pack. The Castle Creations 8S CapPack 1680UF capacitor pack is useful in all high voltage brushless motor applications. Ripple voltage is hard on an ESC, and one of the leading causes of ESC failure. This cap pack helps by providing that little boost needed to overcome ripples in the battery voltage caused by hard acceleration or long battery wires, helping to reduce the load on the controller’s on-board capacitors. This CapPack uses three 560F, 35V capacitors totaling 1680F, which increases its ripple reducing capabilities. It can be used with up to 8 cells LiPo batteries. If your batteries are greater than 8s (35V) then you will need the 880F, 50V CapPack. Multiple CapPacks of the same type and voltage may be used in an application and should be installed to the battery wires as close to the ESC as possible.All Castle controllers with data logging capabilities can report the ripple voltage they encounter during use. Ripple voltage peaks should always be less than 10% of the total pack voltage; the smaller the ripple voltage the better. If an application exhibits more than 10% ripple voltage under peak loads, the user should consider using higher discharge (C Rating) batteries, shorter wires, higher current connectors, better gearing or a smaller load.
