Well, these small high power ultra capacitors are relatively new. Don't ask me why no one has tried it, as you can see, not very many ppl are interested in them. We won't know how well they perform in real-world unless someone tries it, I am.

As for your connector arcing, it WILL happen when there is no voltage in the caps, if they are charged, it won't happen. The Quark itself self discharges the caps, no need to do it. Your fans will only run for like a second.
