[QUOTE="Blue Fury, post: 5515605, member: 599235"] Lets see how long some of you aholes can go without saying something bad or calling him a name for owing a capacitor. Do NOT turn this into one of those threads, let this be over with quickly. Its because a capacitor stores energy and doesnt make its own. It draws from the battery and alt. Its use is to release its stored energy instantaneously during the high draw moments. Your best bet is to get a new battery- like everyone else will say on here (because in most cases its true). So no, the cap itself generally wont protect the alternator from going bad. It will ease it during high draw for very short periods of time- the time it takes to release its stored energy. You can connect them how you want but Id say follow the diagram below: [IMG]http://www.batcap.net/Files/InstallImage2.jpg[/IMG] Just visually replace the batcap with your capacitor. Btw a batcap is pretty much a battery that can release as fast as a capacitor. [/QUOTE]
