At Maddisons of Durham, we offer a specialized range of Citizen capacitors designed to keep your Citizen Eco-Drive watches functioning flawlessly. Unlike conventional batteries, capacitors do not have chemicals inside them to create power; instead, they store energy generated by solar power for short-term use. This makes them a more environmentally friendly option. Citizen capacitors are charged by solar power while fitted in the watch. When exposed to light, the capacitors absorb and convert it into electrical energy, which is then stored to ensure continuous operation even when not in light. For optimal performance, Citizen recommends using a solar light box to fully charge the capacitor, which can take up to five days. By choosing genuine Citizen capacitors from Maddisons of Durham, you ensure the quality and longevity of your watch's performance.
