What is a Gold Cap capacitor?
Gold Cap capacitors a new type of device that are actually are a cross between a capacitor and storage battery. Like a battery they have extremely large power storage capacity but unlike rechargeable batteries have no 'memory' and feature unlimited charge/discharge cycles. In addition they have very large storage capacity for their size and can discharge up to 4 amps of continuous current.
