Tiny and efficient
I needed the smallest package and this did it. Was able to fit it, plus a switch inside both an S1 and an HH660, two of the smallest HO diesels out there, they keep an ESU Nano for about 3 seconds after power down, just what is needed to go over dirty or faulty track without losing sound or movement.

Works as advertised. I got close to 30 seconds capacitance.
Small form factor makes it easy to find a home in a loco

Works great
I used these as my first attempt at keep alive capability. I wired these into ESU decoders. Note that it is best to program the 315/32/113 CVs on the decoder to enable the keep alive functionality before wiring this in (you can also wire in a switch to activate/deactivate KA-2. Small form factor really fits well in HO hood diesels. I get a few seconds of keep alive time, more than enough for basic issues in keeping the sound and lights going at all times.
