Charging/Discharging
Back To Top
THE CAPACITOR MUST BE CHARGED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
TO CHARGE
your Cap: place the charging card (supplied in this package)
on the Capacitor with the end marked " + " on the positive (+) terminal of
the Cap. Hand tighten the supplied terminal screws to secure the charge
card in place on both terminals. Connect the RED wire to a 12V power source.
Connect the BLACK wire to GROUND. The green LED on the charge card
should light. When the green LED goes out, your cap is charged.
TO DISCHARGE your cap: simply place the charging card on your Cap with the
end marked " + " on the positive (+) of the Cap. Hand tighten the supplied
terminal screws to secure the charging card in place on both terminals. Connect
the RED and BLACK wires together. When the red LED goes out, your Cap is discharged.
Capacitor InstallationBack To Top
Tap in to the positive output of the battery with the correct gauge wire for your system.
Within 18" (0.5m) of the battery, place a fuse on the positive wire.Run this positive wire
to the positive (+) terminal of the Strike Cap to connect it to the battery, and then to the
amplifier's power connection. Mount the Cap close to the amplifier, keeping the positive
wire within 18" (0.5m) to reduce voltage loss in the cable. Use the same gauge wire the amplifier
accepts. DO NOT place any fuses between the Cap and amplifier! Using wire terminals, ground
the negative (-) unmarked terminal of the Lightning Cap to the nearest chassis ground point. If
you reverse the positive and negative wires the "ON" light on Cap top will glow red, indicating
extreme stupidity. Connect remote terminal screw on Cap top to switched remote lead on source
unit. See System Diagram below.
Adjusting DisplayBack To Top
Start Vehicle. Turn on system and play at LOW volume. Turn Sensitivity knob on Cap top with
small screwdriver until a few bars are lit. Gradually turn clockwise and stop when all bars are lit.
This is your max charge level.

Caution
Back To Top
Large electrolytic capacitors do not like heat, oil, grease, water, or mistreatment. If the Strike Capacitor
housing is deformed during installation, many layers of foil material will be damaged inside the Capacitor
and it should not be installed. Install in a safe, dry location within 18" (0.5m) of the amplifier. Observe
correct polarity: positive terminal is marked with a (+) symbol, (-) terminal is not marked. Do not block
vent plug on top of Cap. If the Capacitor is wired in reverse of marking on Cap topthe electrolytic fluid
inside the Capacitor will vent, possibly causing damage to interior of vehicle. Use extreme caution when
handling these capacitors. To avoid any problems with your capacitor, treat it like a fully charged lead acid battery.

defective, contact your Authorized Dealer or Lightning Audio at 800 726-8178 for warranty instructions.
All Lightning Strike Caps are under warranty for a period of one year from date of purchase. A Return
Authorization form and copy of invoice showing date of purchase must accompany all warranties. Return
Authorization number must be clearly marked on the outside of the box or it will be returned.
If the Strike Capacitor vent plug is blown or leaking from switched polarity or has been dented or misused
it is not covered under warranty. Stripped terminals are not covered under warranty, but will be replaced for
a nominal charge of $30 to be paid when the Cap is returned to Lightning Audio.
