I need a 22000 uF 63V for my to replace the lead acid battery with. The price spread is more than 3x, and I have no idea what to look for.

Screw terminals are a given, but what brand/model do I want to deal with the strong vibration on the SR? Anything else to look for?

@RichiH filtering at mouser narrows it down to 153 results for me; I would go for screw terminals and a "trusted" brand such as TDK or Nichicon. If it's vibrating I'd apply some silicone anyway

@werdahias yeah, I looked at Mouser and then decided to ask here. Information overload.

You mean to embedd it in silicone?

The SR has 500ccm and a single cylinder. It's 46 years old. It's pure vibration.

@RichiH That's a bit chunky; only one I could find on my normal sites is:

(Higher voltage spec is fine; as I would suspect a larger capacitance to some degree; what does it do?)

@RichiH yeah. In PSUs the connection is encased in silicone as to reduce the mechanical stress and the overall wear. In general you can't go wrong with Japanese capacitor manufacturers

@penguin42 replace the lead acid battery as a load and buffer for the lights and ignition coil. It's a kickstarter so I don't need anything else.

@RichiH Yeh that's something I don't know anything about. I guess it's a very spikey thing being an engine so I guess they picked that 63v in hope it would survive those spikes.

@RichiH as audio engineer i wouldn't worry anout vibrations. temperature range could be more important in your case.
