I have a pair of 50F 2.7V capacitors in series. I charge them up to 5V.
I then have another pair of 50F 2.7V capacitors at zero to 0.5volts. i.e. almost fully discharged.
I wish to use the first pair of caps to charge up the second pair. I do so by connecting them in parallel. There is an initial high current draw, and both pairs reach about 2.6V as expected. (V1+V2)/2
Is there any way (such as using a Joule thief or similar) to almost fully empty the first pair of capacitors so that the charge on the second pair is higher than 2.6V or the equilibrium voltage? i.e say over 4V-4.5V?
I want to transfer as much of the charge from the first pair to the second pair.
Is it possible? :-D
