When capacitors are connected together in parallel the total or equivalent capacitance, CT in the circuit is equal to the sum of all the individual capacitors added together. This is because the top plate of capacitor, C1 is connected to the top plate of C2 which is connected to the top plate of C3 and so on.
Tuning Circuits: Capacitors in series and parallel combinations are used to tune circuits to specific frequencies, as seen in radio receivers. Power Supply Smoothing: Capacitors in parallel are often used in power supplies to smooth out voltage fluctuations.
These two basic combinations, series and parallel, can also be used as part of more complex connections. Figure 8.3.1 8.3. 1 illustrates a series combination of three capacitors, arranged in a row within the circuit. As for any capacitor, the capacitance of the combination is related to both charge and voltage:
Tests on the capacitor/battery parallel combination are carried out in the same way, using the conventional battery (CTX9) in parallel with a supercapacitor network. During these tests additional information is gathered regarding the current profiles.
When 2 capacitors (lets say, of same capacitence 1F) are connected to a battery of 1V (a source of charges), then the capacitors take some energy from the battery and put some charge inside them (Q=CV=1Coulomb for both capacitors). Which means the battery now has less energy.
Hence I conclude, the battery with 2 capacitors in parallel will drain out faster than a battery with individual capacitors (considering we charge the capacitors many many times, causing the battery to loose the energy). Now does this all make sense or its just baloney? Now does this all make sense or it's just baloney? It's just baloney.

Conventional capacitors have the maximum power density and lowest energy density compared to other energy storage devices [13]. On the contrary, fuel cells and batteries have higher energy density than capacitors due to the capability of storing many charges [14].

A large capacitor like the 2200 uF act as a "reservoir" to store energy from the rough DC out of the bridge rectifier. The larger the capacitor the less ripple and the more constant the DC. When large current peaks are drawn the capacitor supplied surge energy helps the regulator not sag in output.

21.6: DC Circuits Containing Resistors and Capacitors
RC Circuits. An (RC) circuit is one containing a resisto r (R) and capacitor (C). The capacitor is an electrical component that stores electric charge. Figure shows a simple (RC) circuit that employs a DC (direct current) voltage source. The capacitor is initially uncharged. As soon as the switch is closed, current flows to and from the initially uncharged capacitor.

What is the effect of adding a capacitor and a battery in parallel?
I have a battery powered device (motion sensor) CR2032 or CR2477. I have consulted the sample designs and found that there is usually a capacitor with a value from 220uF to 330uF in parallel with the battery. What is the effect of this capacitor other than ripple voltage flattening? Is it related to the RC charging and discharging circuit?
