    That makes sense. Since this is a short circuit type of discharge, I’m thinking that the energy content (Ko) = Vchg^2 / (R*C), but I don’ know the charge voltage.

    Any idea?

    Fleetwin: The kill circuit is just the standard "points wires", run to the boat’s dash, to a SPST switch. For one of the wires to ground out but not the other (i.e. kill just one plug) isn’t really possible. That said, I’ll be inspecting everything when I tear down the mag plate.
