[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8747141, member: 591582"] Batteries won't filter the DC pulses from the alt, because, usually, they're at a higher voltage, so the pulse is a higher voltage than what the battery is offering, so the amps will eat the pulsed 12v voltage from your alt. BUT, the caps probably can charge higher than the batteries, and they can also probably charge as high as your alt. So, the caps would capture those 12v pulses from the alt, that are higher voltages than the battery, and possibly smooth that out, where the amp's current is less pulsed from the alt, and more smooth from the caps. You'd just have to see if your equipment meets those standards or not for that to happen. [/QUOTE]
