Truley it is the mark of an un-educated mind to dispute the proven facts, even if they are right before them.
I took a break from here for a bit. In addition to personal time constraints; I simply got tired of your condescending attitude and denseness in our previous discussion on the matter.
No matter---
Josh has clearly explained all the details relavant to this matter and backed them up with reputable sources. I see absolutely none of this same courtesy being extended on your behalf in support of your argument.
Just the childish "I'm right because I said so!" remarks.
I honestly do not see how you can believe that caps are beneficial with the overabundance of information present that clearly contradicts that.
Josh has been a good deal more thorough and patient than I was, however, we both share the same conclusion regarding caps.
On another note:
Since we are dealing with
AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL, (I made that bold so the adjective portion is crystal clear.)
Mabey those Auto-tech books that you previously degraded are not so worthless after all.
I will restate:
An electrical load is defined in automotive terms as any device or object that requires the assistance of of the charging system to maintain its proper functionability.
I would reccomend checking out ASE's Electrical/ Electronic Systems Manual (#A6) if you require further clarification. The whole book is an excellent resource and I would reccomend it to anyone who would like a better understanding of thier vehicles charging systems and other electrical components.
On another note- I dont see the complication in this matter.

This little tech article sums up what a cap is supposed to do and also its flaws.
Right from the article:
"Keep in mind that the discharge is only for a fraction of a second. The capacitor can not act like a battery. It only serves to fill in what would otherwise be very small dips in the supply voltage. "
Also- a point of interest regarding the Class A,B, and Class D amplifiers. This is pretty close to what Josh was saying earlier regarding the Class D's efficiency over the others.

All in all- I believe you may eat your previous words about learning things correctly.
Not trying to be an a*s, just trying to dispell a myth.
take it easy,
