RE: What size resistor to use for charging 1 farad cap?
50,000 ohm ceramic resistor is what you always get with a cap. Be careful, it gets BLAZING hot to touch. The previous guy had it right. I use an 1156 single element bulb. It's a back up lamp for most cars. That bulb and a $3 socket from Autozone and u have a great charger/discharger. Like the man said........just watch the bulb.
