You have a defective capacitor. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to charge it.

Hi.

Here the procedure:



Here the full extracts from manual in PDF:

1 cap 2r m

CAP8.18.30 manual

you need a meter that will measure uf (micro farads) it should read within about 10% of the rating 12.5uf otherwise you could charge it with an insulation tester (megger) and short the terminals with an INSULATED screwdriver to see if it discharges.

1 cap, either .5, 1 or 1.5 farad will be fine. they make 5 10 and 20 farad that cost way more than u need to spend for 400 watts RMS. i like the rockford fosgates, you can get a low cost Tsunami, just make sure you follow the charging instructions.

Yes you certainly wire the 12v+ wire directly to the positive post of the stiffening Capacitor, however if you have a one of those test light probes to check for current on a car? They are really cheap but what i do is clamp the one end on to the battery and than touch the probe to the + teriminal of your capacitor, when the light goes out your cap is fully charged. Now if the light does not go all the way out or stays on you have a bad capacitor, and might i ask why the hell are you driving to need a 35 Farad Capacitor anyway?? Damn.. We do show and competition cars here and sometimes use them. I like the BatCap way better, it's a Battery and a Capacitor all in one. Way strong like bull..... good luck... Mark

Rather than me typing forever and maybe missing something-go to CARAUDIOHELP.COM and they can give you the entire breakdown on how to install it and why,good luck

something in the order of 120 ohms. If you use a 1/4 watt size it will get extremely hot.

hi there installing a capacitor is at your own risk as they charge up and hold a lot of power if hooked up wrong can give you the shock of your life and blow your sterio and computers to bits i learnt my lesson any way remember to take off positve before installing here is a diagram how to install it,,,, ok the positive goes to the battery and the amp on one side and the other to ground .....take a look at this easy to use diagram i found for you hope all goes well http://www.caraudiohelp.com/images/car_audio_capacitor_installation.gif
