Homemade Voltage stabilizer for car!

I wish I knew where I could buy some caps at. Electronics (cheap ones anyway) are very difficult to come by where I live.

What store or kind of store can I buy those $2 caps??

About small caps: Big ones take time to charge up, smaller ones will charge quickly and take care of the small ripples.

I buy them in Acces Electronique, but its only located in Canada(QC) and in the online shop they have nothing.

I suppose mouser.com or digikey could prob have something similar. The important stuffs is the CAPS must be 15V or more, 16V ideally, Bigger voltage just decrease the capacitance so try to use 15V/16V with the bigger capacitance value.

You can add more Caps small or big in serial, its not a problem, since my box was full with 2 caps

Ummm there is a huge difference between capacitors in parallel versus series.

Parallel capacitors are additive in value. Ct = C1 + C2 + C3 + etc

Series is like this:  1/Ct = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 + etc

So, by placing capacitors in series, you get a value somewhere in between the largest value and the smallest value.

But thanks for the info!

Hum let me see if I made a mistake, its parallel sorry!

YEah does not seam right with serial

Ho btw my caps are 15V not 50V like in the main post. I can no longer modify the post...
