Abstract
An electrical storage capacitor system that efficiently initializes itself to its initial state during pause intervals between charging/discharging cycles of operation without providing any special initializing cycles. The capacitor system comprises capacitors connected in series to store electricity, a variation decision means for judging the amount of variation in amount of charge between the capacitors, an operation decision means for judging whether the capacitors are being charged or discharged, and a initializing charging means for charging the capacitors to initialize themselves to their initial state according to the results of decisions made by the variation decision means and by the operation decision means.
