HiFonics ZXT10.0 Hybrid Cap

Q: How do I fit the HiFonics ZXT10.0 in my car, and what cables do I need?

The ZXT10.0 should be installed as close as possible to the amplifier using short, thick power cables (at least 25 mm²). You will need a ground cable connected to the bodywork and a positive cable connected to the amplifier. The enclosed instructions show the correct polarity and connection sequence.

Q: What is the capacity of the Zeus Extreme ZXT10.0, and what amplifier power is it suitable for?

The Powercap has a capacity of 10 farads thanks to modern hybrid technology. It is ideal for car audio systems with amplifiers up to 5,000 watts RMS and supports particularly powerful subwoofer set-ups with extreme bass pulses.

Q: What does the low ESR value on the HiFonics capacitor mean?

The ZXT10.0’s extremely low equivalent series resistance (ESR) enables it to deliver rapid current pulses. This prevents voltage drops during heavy bass beats and ensures consistent amplifier performance without any loss of power.

Q: How long does the Zeus ZXT10.0 last, and how should it be stored?

When installed correctly, the hybrid capacitor will last for several years. It should be kept dry and operated at temperatures between -20°C and +65°C. Before prolonged periods of non-use, it is advisable to discharge it in a controlled manner via the integrated resistor.

Q: What does the digital voltage display on the HiFonics Powercap show?

The built-in display shows the current on-board voltage in real time. This allows you to spot voltage dips straight away and check the capacitor’s effectiveness. The display also helps with fault diagnosis in the mains supply.

Q: Does the ZXT10.0 really protect my car battery and extend its lifespan?

Yes, the capacitor smooths out current peaks and significantly reduces the load on the vehicle battery. By minimising extreme discharge cycles caused by bass pulses, the battery is protected and its service life is significantly extended.

Q: Does the HiFonics Zeus prevent the headlights from flickering when the music is loud?

The 10-farad capacitor compensates for voltage dips, thereby preventing the typical dimming of the vehicle’s lights when heavy bass is played. The polymer technology provides the energy required for heavy bass passages.

Q: Can I combine several Zeus Extreme capacitors?

Yes, you can connect several ZXT capacitors in parallel to increase the total capacitance. This may be useful for extremely high-power systems exceeding 5,000 watts. Make sure you use identical models and cables of the same length.

Bedienungsanleitung

Anyone who operates very powerful amplifiers in their vehicle will be familiar with the problem: when the bass hits, the nominal 12 volt on-board power supply goes "down on its knees", which is noticeable, among other things, by the flickering lighting in time with the music. The problem: Although a car battery is very powerful, it is not able to deliver fast current pulses due to its high internal resistance. However, these are needed so that very powerful amplifiers can reproduce basses dryly and cleanly.

With the new hybrid buffer capacitors from the ZEUS EXTREME ZXT series, such problems are a thing of the past. Thanks to modern hybrid technology, in which an electrolytic liquid and a polymer serve as the film base, it is possible to accommodate up to 10 farads of capacitance in compact housings. At the same time, the technology ensures a very low internal series resistance (ESR) so that the power is available at lightning speed.

ZEUS EXTREME ZXT capacitors deliver the stored extra power precisely when the subwoofer amplifier IMMEDIATELY needs a lot of energy for the heavy bass punch. The energy released is then recharged from the battery in the power cap for the next attack. The capacitor can therefore buffer and smooth out voltage peaks by absorbing excess energy and releasing it again when required.

Positive side effect: The service life of a vehicle battery can be extended by using a buffer capacitor.
