However, capacitors discharge and recharge extremely quickly. If you manage to discharge your capacitor it will try to recharge almost instantly. What's the only way to do this? It will, for an instant, act like a short circuit and draw a massive amount of current from your alternator (depending on the setup, it might try to pull well over 1000 amps, but for less than 1/1000 of a second)</blockquote>
