[23:37:55] <zhanx> rue can you explain super caps to me
[23:43:22] <rue_house> ... whats to explain
[23:43:38] <rue_house> they border the line between battery and capacitor
[23:44:09] <zhanx> charging via solar, life span?
[23:44:30] <rue_house> till the electrolite gives up
[23:44:52] <rue_house> unlike a battery, the discharge curve is a constant slope on the voltage
[23:46:30] <zhanx> so 2.4vdc on a 6v super cap is a slope?
[23:46:39] <zhanx> i dont know battery things
[23:47:05] <rue_house> batteries hold most of a voltage till they are done, and then it drops off sharp
[23:47:34] <rue_house> so if harged to 6V, a supercap is half done at 3V
[23:47:40] <zhanx> so trial and error for this?
[23:48:14] <rue_house> V = qt?
[23:48:16] <rue_house> no
[23:48:27] <rue_house> v = qC
[23:48:52] <zhanx> v= qc but cold factor?
[23:49:01] <zhanx> cant find that
[23:49:10] <rue_house> the amount of charge times the size of the cap is the voltage
