Dont listen to words.
Get a cap meter and measure it yourself.
Then you will know for sure.

But please tell me this ...

If you put two capacitors in series,
Then do you get 180deg of phase shift across them
both or do you simply get 90 degrees
like in a single capacitor ???

I would like to build a filter but can
not find an exact value 1/2 of what I got
so I want to put two in series but since this
filter relies on phase shift will putting
two in series to get the right value
mess up the needed phase shift of 90 degrees.

(p.s.)Voltage leads current by 90 deg in an inductor.
Current leads Voltage in a capacitor by 100 grads.

6 capacitors 60 farad @ 2.7V EACH in serie, then they parallel with a 0.5
farad 16V. I don't see how you can get 60 farad out of this circuit. The
maximum you can get from this circuit is 10.5 Farad. How can they call
this a 60 Farad? No wonder why I am not getting the power it's supposed to
hold. I bought this funky Lanzar600 hybrid capacitor, and my voltage meter
shows its voltage drops fast!! Because it looks like one of the 6
capacitors felt off the PCB, and the 0.5farad hardware doesn't hold it
tight niether, so I think I'm getting 10 farad if I'm not wrong or less.

I thought the formula is supposed to be =
1/((1/C1)+(1/C2)+(1/C3)+(1/C4)+(1/C5)+(1/C6)) = ResultA in parallel with
C7(0.5farad) but C7 is not connected, I should end up with 10 farad? or 0.5
farad?


Sounds like a fraud product to me unless if I'm mistaken. I need you
experts to tell me if my thinking is wrong.

Thanks.
