Hi,
I am trying to charge some maxwell ultracapacitors (2600F @ 2.5V) with a 1000 watt PC power supply. however when fully discharged, the supply thinks the cap is a dead short and the safety mechanism kicks in and no charge happens.
Is there a simple circuit I can use to prevent this? ideally I'd like to use as much of the 1000 watts as possible to get the caps charged fast.
i am using 6 wired in series for 15V max.
