If I had to guess, they're going to give them the standard 5-second cycle time, and probably decrease the boost amount. Nerfing fittings would make them almost unusable, and there really isn't anything else they can touch, such as capacity or reload time, that won't make the module go from too strong to useless.

It becomes a situational module and no longer has this "must have" sticker for shield boosting ships.
Then it would only be useful as a replacement or addition to buffer setups instead of a dedicated active tank e.g. the Maelstrom. If you can't run two of these at least subsequently (if they remove the ability to run more than one at the same time it might work), then the standard booster and injector combo would become superior. Generally speaking if this module doesn't restore shields in excess of your maximum capacity per reload cycle then it's useless as a tank module and can be used as a buffer supplement only.
To the guy who said "why would it matter?" I completely agree. CCP is likely to nerf the ASB into the ground and make it useless for a few years. Nothing to cry over since people will simply go back to normal shield boosters.

Is it a lol tank in lol fight? What is so good about them? It can not hold very many charges, it runs out of charges and eats cap at stupid pace. Then no active tank can withstand an all on one gank power. All DPS goes on primary target. Buffer works better.
Decent buffer Raven/drake tank can outlast any shield boost setup in a PvP engagement between small and medium parties.
It's completely immune to neutralizers, and boosts about what a Pith X-type boosts per cycle. One X-L can go 13 cycles when you use navy 400 charges. That's almost 13,000 shields on a single reload. A large T2 extender with three extender rigs is less than 40% of that, and when you consider that the boosters open up rig slots for resistances, it's even better by comparison.
There's a reason everyone is using them.
