| Apr 29, 2019 at 2:00 | comment | added | K H | 24V surge sounds like an absolute maximum rating, so this would not be wise to use with a 24V nominal system. Voltage, depending on system, often varies somewhat around "nominal" voltage, which is why a 24V absolute maximum capacitor is necessary for a "12V" system in a car, where voltage will actually vary up to 14 or so volts, higher with an inductive surge. You can use capacitors in series to increase their voltage ratings, but additional measures(balancing circuit) may be necessary, and using them in series will decrease total capacitance, search "capacitors in series" for info. | |

| Apr 29, 2019 at 1:32 | comment | added | TimWescott | '24v surge low esr' is almost meaningless in engineering terms. It means "buy me". What do you want to use the capacitor for, and what do you want it to do for you? | |
| Apr 29, 2019 at 1:24 | comment | added | Hearth | VTC as unclear what you're asking; all I can understand of this question is that you don't really understand how capacitors work. I recommend at least reading the wikipedia page. | |
