Thank you. Ever since some time ago when I read the post about the Stinger
capacitor blowing up under the one mans seat, I've been really nervous
working with it. Does anyone have word on what had hapened with that man's
issue?

I have a Brax "Supercap", and when I was going to install it, I tohught
of
something. Do I use the charger clip to charge it for the first time
only?
Or do I need to have it connected all the time?

Just to initially charge it. Otherwise, it tries to go from 0 to 12volts
pretty much instantaneously, which ends up drawing tons of current,
popping
fuses, and making sparks. Once connected, it will remain at the same
voltage as the car's electrical system, so you won't need to charge it
anymore. If you remove the capacitor from the vehicle, it's usually wise
to
discharge it after unhooking it, so it could come in handy again.
