## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA1589:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA1589:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This Big Freaking Capacitor is just the trick when you have a lot of current sloshing around your project. They'll help smooth out voltage spikes by providing a little buffering. Adafruit use these to help stabilize solar panels on Adafruit's [solar Lipoly charger kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-dc-solar-lithium-ion-polymer-charger-v2.html), but they'd also be great with Adafruit's [servo driver boards](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-16-channel-12-bit-pwm-servo-shield-i2c-interface.html) or on the power connection to Adafruit's [5V 10A power supply](https://core-electronics.com.au/5v-10a-switching-power-supply.html)
 
 4700uF capacitance for up to 10V power supplies.
