I want to use a couple super capacitors in series and from what I was told was to use Zener diodes as a balancing component. The two super caps are 5 volt 1F and the two zener diodes are rated at 4.7 volts. The supply is 9 volts DC and here is a quick drawing of what I have in mind.
Any thoughts as to whether this is correct to insure that the caps only get 4.7 volts and are balanced, thanks.
