[QUOTE="supermaxx123, post: 6734695, member: 613324"] you do realize how uninformed you are? what is the static charge of your batteries? an alternator is electronically controlled, guess what, so is a cap. they are both just as fast. a battery is chemically "controlled" that is how it produces energy. your alternator should rest at 14.4v, your battery at max 13.8. a cap would help you if you were not dropping below 13.8, maybe help you. you battery should not get any drain when you car is on, if it is, then your alternator is not doing it's job. batteries are only meant to start the car and thats it, granted in car audio we tend to use them to power stuff when the car is off. IMO a cap is meant to smoothen power out, not supply it, unless it's being used in a camera and thats a different thing too. [/QUOTE]
