  Yep, but only about 8000 joules. Still, two in series has provided 
enough energy to power my crystal set preamp for several evenings of 
intermittent use. Eventually the voltage will drop too low and then I'll 
have a better idea of their capability for this use but so far I've been 
satisfied. Despite my amplifier's discharge rate of 2.4 ma. plus the 
capacitor's slow internal leakage the combination hasn't depleted them 
enough to cease amplification, though it's been several days now. Stay 
tuned.
