Hi Joe, Yes you can use a supercap. It will directly replace the ni-cad Just make sure the voltage rating is high enough, e.g. 5V Ebay item 160495558462 looks good. Robert G8RPI.

I have the Z3801A on a UPS, but the outage lasted over an hour and the UPS didn't. I have the information about adding a battery to the Oncore to allow for faster startup. Is it safe to use a supercap instead of a battery?
