[QUOTE="Plutoman, post: 5440926, member: 601528"] Ace Ventura... The problem is not anything with personal experiences. It's the fact that it is scientifically proven to be a detriment. The capacitor is intended to help minimize voltage drops, and put less strain on the alternator. However, when the capacitor discharges, it puts additional strain, and more voltage drops, when the alternator is forced to charge both the cap and the battery simultaneously. In lower power systems, this is less of a problem, as the alternator can keep up with charging the system, and the cap might assist in preventing slight dimming. However, if you are to the point of extreme dimming, then a cap will only hide the problem. It will eventually fry the alternator when it tries to keep up. [/QUOTE]
