[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5507992, member: 601690"] I would think that the cap would be 100% worthless in this setup with the second battery, but you might as well try it with and without it and see if it makes any difference in voltage at all. I would be suprised if a 5F cap could produce even 3A of continuous current. That is not really helping that much for a 2500W system. At full tilt, a 2500W system is pulling around 180A. For your fuses, always fuse based on your wire's rating. If it is rated at 300A, then that is the fuse you should use. If you want to fuse smaller, you can, but it is not relly doing yourself any good. You are not protecting your amps with fuses, you are protecting wire. [/QUOTE]
