ATTENTION: Make sure the battery and all other power sources are disconnected.
ATTENTION: When installing high voltage audio equipment, such as capacitors and

amplifiers, we recommend using “full-spec” AWG (American Wire Gauge)
type wire for your power and ground wires.

CAUTION: Ensure correct polarity during the following connections. Failure to do 

so may cause damage to the unit when power is applied.

NOTE:If a reverse polarity has been connected to the capacitor, a warning buzzer will sound when

power is applied. Immediately disconnect the capacitor from power, ensure it has been
discharged and reconnected to correct polarity.

1. Attach the ground wire to the negative terminal block of the capacitor.The negative terminal is

marked with a (–) Negative Connections.Attach the other end of the ground wire to the chassis 

of the car, ensure there is good metal to metal contact. Ensure that no stray wires are visible.

Ensure all wires are secured. Loose connections will affect the performance of your capacitor,

possibly leading to failure.

2. Attach a fused Power wire to the positive terminal of the capacitor.The positive terminal is the

platinum colored block marked with a (+) Positive Connections. Ensure that no stray wires are 

visible. Ensure all wires are secured. Loose connections will affect the performance of your capacitor,

possibly leading to failure.

3. To hook up your amplifier or distribution block, use the available 1/0 AWG and/or 4 AWG

connections.

4. Mount the unit securely in the location decided upon.

Charging and connecting the Hybrid Capacitor to the battery
ATTENTION: 
Charging your capacitor will ensure that the battery and capacitor voltage 

are equalized.This will help prevent arcing when the initial power connection
to the capacitor is made.

Overcharging cells will reduce their useful life span. HINT: Charging cells at an ambient temperature 

of less than +77°F (+25°C) will minimize the deterioration of their useful life span (keeping it near their

500,000 cycle expectation).

NSTALLATION

NOTE:If a reverse polarity has been connected to the capacitor, a warning buzzer will sound when

power is applied. Immediately disconnect the capacitor from power, ensure it has been
discharged and reconnected to correct polarity.

1.     Connect the capacitor Negative (-) and battery Negative (-) to chassis ground of vehicle.
2.     Connect one bulb end through fuse to capacitor Positive (+).  It is highly suggested that you place a 

fuse before the capacitor.

3.     Connect the other bulb end to battery Positive (+).
4.     When connection is made, the charging is started.
5.     Once a full charge has been reached and the capacitor module reads the same voltage as the 

battery.  See Fig. 1.  Remove the bulb.

6.     Connect the power wire leading to capacitor module to the positive (+) battery post.  Attention, 

small sparks may occur.  See Fig. 2.

7.     Make sure all power and ground connections are made and secure at the capacitor module.
8.     The ORION Hybrid Capacitor is now ready for use.
