Question for fun.
A car's battery is not a capacitor, but it seems to "accumulates" charge the same way. So, if you take a typical fully charged car's battery, what would be the equivalent capacitance of a 12V capacitor that would have the same charge?
For an extra kick - try to guesstimate its order of magnitude before comparing to the actual calculations! My guesstimate: 500F.
