[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 7110710, member: 567719"] Capacitors can and will store a charge for a long time, that's why it's possible to get hurt (or even killed) when working on electronics even after you've disconnected the power source. If the caps aren't presented with a load to drain them, they still hold their charge. Not sure where your getting your info but it's wrong... Also, like Helotaxi said, Batteries can't create charge, they can only store it. And thanks for replying again Helotaxi, I understand what your talking about and agree, I was thinking of the case where the single battery doesn't have the power the amplifier is looking for. Using your example lets say as the amplifier tries to pull that 100A the battery can only supply 50A of it, so when recharging the alternator has to replenish that 50A (or 5A/s if you will). Now if you throw in a second battery and now you have that 100A available, the alternator now has to replenish 100A (or the full 10A/s) so wouldn't that be a greater load? [/QUOTE]
