# Super Capacitor - 2.5V 630 Farad

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** ADA1885 · **Brand:** [Adafruit](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/adafruit-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/super-capacitor-2-5v-630-farad.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/super-capacitor-2-5v-630-farad.html.md))

When I was studying power supply electronics in school, the instructor always talked about adding BFC's to the circuit - Big Freakin' Capacitors. This here is UHFC...

## Pricing

- **Price:** $48.80 (inc GST) — $44.36 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $43.04 (exc GST) · 50+ $42.15 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA1885:1` (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/ADA1885:1.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

When I was studying power supply electronics in school, the instructor always talked about adding BFC's to the circuit - Big Freakin' Capacitors. This here is UHFC - **Unbelievably Huge** Freaking Capacitor. If you have a super-cap project that needs up to 630 **Farads** of capacitance, check it out. Like most super-caps it has a 2.5V-max rated voltage, and remember that unlike a voltage-output battery the voltage drops immediately as it discharges.
 
 You can use this as a stand-in for a battery, its huge but can charge fast and doesn't degrade like NiMH or Li-Ion/LiPoly batteries. Adafruit like to refer to this MAXIM super-cap calculator to figure out how long Adafruit can run a project.
 
 **Super capacitors are powerful beasts: the ultra low ESR means that shorting the outputs will create a big spark! Care must be used when working with charged super-caps, these are only for experts who are comfortable with high-current-capable power supplies.**

## Technical Details

Dimensions:

- 2.5V rated maximum voltage. 630 Farads.
- [This datasheet covers the DL series](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/dl-dle-e-140101_42306443076.pdf), this is the older version of what is now the 700F rated cap so the specs will be similar
- 105mm long x 35mm diameter / 4.1" long x 1.4" diameter
- Weight: 135.2g
