Good questions. Two identical cap will equalize when paralleled. ie cap 1 has 2000 joules, cap 2, 0 joules when parallel they both have 1000 joules in a fraction of a second.Joules and watts are based on time. ie A battery has a power capacity of 2.6 amp per hour.One joule is one ampere passed through one ohm for a period of time of one second. ie 1 Kilowat-hour is 3.6 megaJoules per seconds. I hope this will chine a light for a solution.
@PoirierMike Yes the VOLTAGE of two identical caps will equalize, did you calculate the joules of each new voltage? Yes! interesting isn't it! Caps conserve voltage, but not joules.
Now back to how many joules left the battery to charge the cap to 4221 joules?

If 4221 joules charge a second cap to 1100 joules- then perhaps 8000 joules are leaving the battery to charge the first.
Or maybe only 4221 leave the battery.
What do you think and why?
