You do know that capacitors can hold charge, even while unplugged, don't you?

They can, but they discharge slowly until they reach a base state. An I mistaken?

[–] Kjell@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

You are correct. Even supercapacitors discharge but since they hold more energy it takes longer time before you can notice/measure it.
