I wouldn't worry too much about the cap, the cell itself will act as a cap and therefore stabilize the voltage, but 40 plates, on 120 will be around 4v per space, and that will draw a ton of juice, I would definitly start with a half bridge first and check the amp draw. VAriac would be nice it you can get one, but you have to work with what you got.
