Hi All,

B&C offer a couple different capacitors, 10,000uF (at)50VDC and  47,000uF 

(at)16VDC. Is one of these appropriate for use on the Rotax alternator?

Thanks,  Kevin

  This is not a really critical capacitor with

  respect to value but 16v is bit low for

  a rating. 25V or more is the target. Furhter,

  the "rule of thumb" for sizing is 1,000 uF per

  amp of alternator output so the 10KuF/50v is

  pretty good for the SD-8. Your system would

  be better served by 20KuF/25V or larger.
