Castle CASTLE CREATIONS CAPACITOR PACK 8S MAX 35V

Castle CASTLE CREATIONS CAPACITOR PACK 8S MAX (35V) 1680UF

Maximize Power Efficiency!

The CC CapPack is an indispensable tool for all brushless motor applications, providing that extra push needed to overcome voltage ripples caused by hard acceleration or lengthy battery wires. Ripple voltage can strain an ESC, but the CC CapPack significantly reduces the load on the controller's on-board capacitors. This CapPack consists of three 560µF, 35V capacitors, totaling 1680µF, enhancing its ripple-reducing capabilities. It is compatible with LiPo batteries up to 8 cells. If your batteries exceed 8s (35V), the 880µF, 50V CapPack is required.

Helicopters:

For all 500 class and smaller heli applications, where Y harnesses and lengthy wires can result in voltage loss, and demanding collective pulls can strain even the most powerful batteries, the CC CapPack comes highly recommended.

Surface Vehicles:

RC cars and trucks exert tremendous loads on brushless power systems due to their high torque requirements. Going from 0 to 100% throttle isn't easy on controllers or batteries. In high-performance applications such as drag racing and high-speed runs, using CC CapPacks can help your system power through the demanding abuse.

Fixed-Wing Aircraft:

Larger electric power systems often lead to larger electric-powered aircraft, where the distance between the battery pack and the ESC may exceed the pre-installed wire length. The addition of wire introduces inductance, which can raise ripple voltage in the system. The CC CapPack effectively counteracts the ripple caused by adding up to 12 inches of wire length to the battery.

Note: All Castle controllers with data logging capabilities can monitor the ripple voltage encountered during operation. Ripple voltage peaks should always be maintained below 10% of the total pack voltage, with lower ripple voltage being preferable. If an application exhibits more than 10% ripple voltage under peak loads, consider utilizing higher discharge (C Rating) batteries, shorter wires, higher current connectors, optimizing gearing, or reducing the load.

Multiple CapPacks can be utilized in an application, and it is advised to install them as close to the ESC as possible to optimize their performance.
