The point is, a cap doesn't prevent the load from jumping to your battery, it just delays it for an insignificant amount of time, end of story.Of course a capacitor's voltage will remain roughly the same as the rest of the system, that's what they are designed for : Rapid charge/discharge. This is the same reason why they do nothing in car audio, they discharge so quickly that they can't stabilize the voltage, only delay the inevitable drop down the battery level.Seriously, why is this so hard to understand?</blockquote>
