Zen Black Decoders
Zen Black Decoders
I am thinking of changing some of my decoders to Zen Black with stay alive capacitors. Does anyone know how long a loco can carry on operating under the power of the capacitor?

From the DCC Concepts web site ..
DCCconcepts feel that cost matters to you, pickups should be adjusted properly and track wired proper-ly, with live-frog points used everywhere to give best performance. For this reason we generally make our Stay-Alives with the primary purpose of eliminating brown-outs at slow speed. Therefore, the Stay-Alives we pack with our decoders use high end ceramic capacitors to keep the Stay-alive small and of course smooth our running beautifully, but they will only run the motor for fractions of a second
Their Zen SUPER high power SA the web site states...
Zen SUPER high 2-wire power stay alive has exceptional power storage.
In fact, once charged, they have enough power to run an average OO or HO Locomotive more than two metres with the track power removed!
