This will cause your lights to be dim or not work at all. Please note that your battery will supply all DC voltage until it completely discharges." They failed to mention that capacitors somehow lose there "capacity" over time. I read some where that voltage can actually go up over time with these capacitors, not sure why.
You can try replacing the capacitors, though those are a bit hard to find. Pay attention to the voltage of the capacitors- they need to be rated for the high voltage, as the circuit in that converter is in the 5-600 volt range. Other than that, there is really no adjustment on the ferroresonant type like that one.
