edit: Looks like I'm not suppost to post in this forum, sorry. Cant figure out how to delete or move the post.
Ok so I've built up a few electronic kits , played with microcontrollers and digital circuts, but my basic understanding of electronic components is lacking. I have read a lot of stuff on this but I'm a little dense.
Here's my questions.
Does the voltage of a cap matter that much? Can I 'fill up' a 16volt with 2 volts? or will the capacitor top out and stop taking charge at 2 volts?
OR, does the voltage listed for the capacitor instead represent the voltage at which it will discharge? Or am I just completely confused all together??
I'm trying to understand solar engines for beam robotics, and super caps for LED flashlights. any simple english for dummies type reply is greatly appreciated.
