Capacitor question
#1
Hi All,

First post ever so bear with me if I miss something.

I’m building my first drone and I bought the iFlight SucceX-E 2-6S Mini F4 Flight Controller MPU6000 + 4 in 1 35A ESC. My question is, it came with two different capacitors one that is 50v and one that is 35v. Which one do I use?

My final build will be a 4S 5 inch with DYS Samguk KV 2500 motors. Let me know if you need any other info.

You technically can use either. Some like 35V because it is smaller but can handle 6S (25.2V). But some like 50V because in engineering, you want to double the capacity voltage as a rule of thumb. I personally use 35V without an issue. You do risk a higher chance of the capacitor burning with 35V.

Thanks for the concise answer! I’ll use the 50v then as I’m not pressed for space and why risk burning out.
