Supercapacitor Load

Test supercapacitor on 2AMP Load.
If we Use supercapacitor as Home UPS Alternative Then how much Backup we get.
This testing says that if supercapacitor full charge and Load on 400Watts 2AMP then we will get 15Min backup. 
This is not much but we can use as a alternative.

1kF caps are ultracaps. Are they even available? Maybe buy tonnes of 100F super-expensive caps and add them in parallel. An inverter battery would be way better than this.

Add them in parallel and see. You are reducing the effective capacitance!

The thing about supercapacitors (or any capacitors in general) is that they are good for quick charging/discharging but not so good when it comes to storing energy. Batteries are good for storing lots of energy because of which they make a good energy store for UPSs.

Ultra caps in series-parallel combinations will probably be very expensive.

Caps in series without resistance in between are calculated by 1/(1/c1 + 1/c2 + 1/cn) so you are effectively reducing the storage capacity of any capacitor with each cap you add.

Didn't ask for it. Thanks though.
