I'm sure we'll all be interested in EEstor's ultra-caps when they ever
come out; they are a local company after all.  However they have never
let AustinEV test any of their product, and Ultra-caps are readily
available elsewhere.  I prefer some of the Ultra-caps from Maxwell
Technologies.  You can get nice 15V, 50F caps for $200.  (In a form
factor about the size of two fists.)
