ChrisP58 Well-Known Member Most Helpful Member Jan 1, 2013 #2 What voltage do you want to charge it to? How fast do you need to charge it to that level? And what power source will you charge it from? Last edited: Jan 1, 2013

alec_t Well-Known Member Most Helpful Member Jan 2, 2013 #4 400V AC corresponds to about 560V DC ( the result of rectifying 400V AC). Be aware that when a 600uF cap is charged to anything greater than 100V or so it is potentially LETHAL!!
