Reminds me of a diesel engine that had an air starter. Had about a 50gal tank. Guy called me up as it would not start. Did my troubleshooting and figured pump was air loaded. That air tank could only crank for like five seconds, not enough time for me to chase the air out in one or two goes. And took forever for tank to recharge. Took me all afternoon to get the thing running.

I'd figure the capacitors would be similar. All ok for a normal start, but clearing air from fuel, PITA.

If they do not publish actual amp-hour or kWh energy content, then whatever the numbers are, they are not proud of them. And those numbers matter when spec'ing out equipment.
