[QUOTE="metalheadjoe, post: 8858406, member: 581422"] I would start with 40ah of LiFePO4 and keep an eye on your voltage to determine if you need more. If your voltage drops too much, lay off the throttle until you upgrade the alternator. Lithium is a game changer. I'm running 5k and I wish I had tried lithium before I upgraded my alternator. That depends on the role of the battery. If your vehicle is not running, a capacitor cannot fill the role of the battery. If the vehicle is running and your alternator makes enough juice to power the stereo, a capacitor can do the job. [/QUOTE]
