    Health Warning!

    If you try these supercaps, you should be aware that if you reverse their polarity whist they are discharging (during stay-alive), you will reduce their lives.
    In other words, try not to apply Reverse on your controller as the loco heads toward a cliff-edge! Start thinking seriously about fixing down your buffer stops, just like the prototype!
