[QUOTE="Johnny Drama, post: 1851213, member: 554719"] It may store power, but when the electrical system cant supply the demand the cap will put out its stored energy, and since its very minimal amount the cap will constantly need charging. Causing a drain on the system however minimal you want to look at it. Therefor IMO, it is worthless to have. From what I have found personally testing, the isolator will keep your starting battery from draining to the point of failure. On the otherhand while running your car will run off its alternator. Adding the isolator will drain a little more off your alternator, and may cause the alt to fail. The up hand is that you atleast know your car will start and continue until you can afford the upgraded alternator. Nothing really to add here. In another thread you talked about NOT to do this... I would think that they minimal loss of .5v would be better for the assurance that your car will continue to operate (*as lond as you do not totally exceed the alternators reserve output for extended periods.)
