Problems with capacitor charging

Ok, I recently purchased an Audiobahn digital capacitor.  It, for some reason, did not come with instructions, but it did come with the little light bulb (resistor) to charge it.  Now, I grounded the right side of the cap.  The left side (the positive terminal), I left open.  I connected the battery wire to the light bulb, then connected it to the positive terminal on the cap.  I charged it to about 10 volts.  Now, when I go to permanently connect the capacitor to the battery wire, it sparks and throws out my 12 dollar Monster audio fuses.  Does anyone know why it is doing this?  Thanks all.....

You could problably go to radio shack and get a new resistor if that is the problem.

Get a new resistor or call Audiobahn they should send you a new one. But if it only charges it to 2.3 volts either you have a bad cap or resistor.

You can used a resistor between 30-50 ohms.Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

You can try using a basic test light and using it in place of the resistor.  Charge until the light goes out.  Make sure capacitor voltage is around battery voltage.
