But the reality of the situation is that if a battery works, a capacitor
of the same storage capacity ought to work as well (or better due to
less internal resistance).
Therefore, when the cap does not perform as well, we have a "teachable
moment" and can try to identify the culprit, which is likely to be found
in the redox chemistry of the battery... and the way charge carriers
interact with the spikey BEMF of the circuit.
Most batteries have more potential chemical energy than their rating
would indicate. It is arguable that twice as much could be squeezed out
with no need to invoke "overunity" if partial recharge was inherent in
the discharge. In fact, Bedini's famous battery rejuvenator works by
applying spikey back pulses ... which is what the Manelas device does as
well. Coincidence?

Whatever Sweet did or did not accomplish is now in the realm of
fiction. No scientific proof exists today in the form of a
working device, despite millions spent over the years.
There were eye witnesses who were experts in circuits who saw it
"working," but could not replicate it after years of trying.
Bedini was his assistant. This circumstance actually amounts more
to proof of trickery, than proof of an anomaly - since experts saw
it and could not replicate it.
Thus the best explanation is that Sweet was cleverly faking it.
There are a dozen ways to fake this kind of thing. YouTube has
become a repository of overunity fakes, some surprisingly good.
Common sense suggests that if Sweet's transformer ever worked, it
would have been replicated from available evidence and be in
production today. Of course, that has not happened. Thus it may
have myth value to those who want to believe in miracles, but none
to science ... whereas the Manelas device may have value to
science in the anomalous cooling, if not the battery effects.
People seem to be overlooking the implications of the
"Gigafactory" in Reno... in the context of combining low cost
cells with a possible doubling of battery-life with a regenerative
circuit. No overunity required. We could be looking at a bona-fide
paradigm shift in the history of transportation - if that were to
happen...
... or it could be hype and spin. Indeed, the stock has been
suffering of late.
BTW Tesla's Gigafactory grand opening is set for *July 29th*.

This battery theory does not make sense, The Sweet system worked
with power coming off the grid.
This is the same as saying that he could not close the loop. In
short, it never worked for Sweet as a self-powering device or he
wouldn't need the AC at all. He paid his full electric power bill
like the rest of us.
