[QUOTE="It Hertz, post: 4563328, member: 592613"] Couple of comment to this. Though I do perfer a seconday back up battery a Capacitor is not always a bandaid. adding a battery may offer more energy storage, but they add more resistance to the electrical system and they take more to recharge then a capacitor. the trick is that you need to make sure you have enough capacitance for the amount of power you are running. most people will say 1 farad per 1000 watts RMS, but will usually work better if you do 1 farad per 500 watts. If you compete in IASCA competitions, most events will judge will vehicles with them running this is done for comfort of the judges in the heat, so if it is donein one vehicle it will be done in ALL vehicles. So you can run the Cap, but with all those amps you will need more then one and by the time you buy the two or three you need plus all the added connectors you could have bought one battery and connectors for it. thanks, Bryan [/QUOTE]
