I'm not really sure whether there is such a thing as too many or too few capacitors for a certain system. I was looking at this Hifei unit from OSE and wondered if it would be adequate for my setup:

I have two Swordfish 220A Pro ESC's and a pair of 6s LiPo's to run in series. I understand the battery leads should be as short as possible, but it seems like I wouldn't be able to shorten them much if both battery's leads (which are 8AWG by the way) had to reach to the center of the hull from the sponson cavities to plug into that cap bank. Any suggestions or experiences?

Thanks,
