Gyro Gearloose Do It Myself Super Cap 5 Volt Battery
Most of the stuff I have uses 5 volt on-board USB battery charging. 3.7 volts operating systems?
And here I sit looking at a bargain of four-Farad 5.5 volt supercaps.
And a distinct lack of experience with the behavior of supercaps used as batteries.
With my lab power supply I can e-a-s-e recharging into the caps no matter if it takes 4-days to recharge. Four farads is a lot of stored energy. Four supercaps would be an enormous reservoir. Recharge my Samsung, my Nook and everything else so many times it isn't funny without need to worry about power. This means extended bus rides with the Nook Glow Light at full song...
Enthusiasm. Yeah right. How long, intrinsically would the caps hold a charge? How picky are the 3.7 volt regulators inside the devices? Do they all fall flat on their collectors at 4.7 volts? I've tried to research this and hit a solid wall of ambiguity. Some of the "expert" info is laughably naive.
Fondling a full-size laptop in a bus seat ain't gonna happen to tap into a USB port.
