PLCProf posted:Do you really need 1.25 F? Reason I ask, there are some smaller supercaps, like the Eaton PB-5R0V105-R, that are rectangular and a pair of them would probably fit in a 9 V battery outline with room to spare (for the electronics.) But, a pair of them would give only .5 F.
That's a good question, I don't know at this point how much would be required. The ones I specified are not all that much larger than those Eaton ones. If I were going for size, maybe maybe I should just consider these on eBay, they're 5.5V 1.0F and would much more easily fit into the 9V form-factor. They're $1.50 each and shipping for as many as you buy would be $2 total. I actually have a bunch of this type of 1F capacitor in my parts box.
