Additional Caps, Why?

[Boaterguy]

I was referencing his post, I don't understand how he is telling me I am making stuff up by slightly altering vocabulary.

Looks here at Novaks 4s-6s Capacitor part # 5685.

To put it bluntly Boaterguy is a keyboard boater, who has never had a proper running boat!
Three days ago he didn't know how to wire batteries in a parallel , now he knows advanced electronics theory?

And now with the new ingredient TRANSORB,(tm), But seriously detox, nice find, and news to me. Worth a bookmark, THANKZ!

To some extent, both Boaterguy and siberianhusky are correct. But I am requesting that you guys refrain from name calling. We all have differing opinions, based partly on knowledge we've gained and personal experience. If you disagree with someone, post information to support your argument. After all, this is supposed to be a fun hobby.

siberianhusky already explained it very well, you can count on his infos!!

I just would like to add something: A 1000µF 35V capacitor is not always the same as a 1000µF 35V capacitor. There are also other important things like ripple current and impedance, to sum it up the ones we need are called LowESR or UltraLowESR capacitors. A recommendable type is for example the ZL or ZLH series from Rubycon.

So almost any capacitor will improve it, some types more and some less.

For the T180: I'd solder them directly in parallel to the already existing capacitors on the PCB, the closer the capacitors to the ESC the better.

Best regards,
Manuel

Awhile back another OSE forum member, whom I trust, (DR Wayne) was trying to help me with a project/idea, and he made reference to just such a diode. Alas, it went right over my head at the time, and I shelved it.
With your links I now have a better understanding of what he was talking about, and moreover why. thankz again!
BTW, you do realize I was just kidding about transorb? It just sounds so much like an ingredient in a late night, snake oil, miracle weight loss product advertisement.

It sounded like snake oil to me also. I had to look it up. I used to hang out on the Klipsche forum alot and a few other audio forums...man some of those topics get very heated.

You can also reduce ESR by using multiple capacitors in parallel.

Now I see where using several compared to a larger single will have an advantage. Thanks for the info.
