[QUOTE="dudadiesel, post: 8326057, member: 663369"] Just as an update, I picked up some 500 farad ultra capacitors. Although you lose a lot of speed in the charge/discharge going from traditional dielectric capacitors to ultra capacitors, the ultra capacitors are still much faster than a battery will be and the increased capacity should keep its voltage from dropping too quickly, giving the alternator enough time to respond to long-term demand and kick the charge back up. Logically speaking, I think this is the best way to keep a system at peak voltage (my amp is more than large enough to cover the system+ + car peak demand so this is really just to fill the gap between no charging and sudden need for charging from the amp) I also have the biggest kinetik power cell to act as the main battery so even if the cap still falls short, I know the power cells do their job from experience. It would still be better to have the traditional cap running the system, but I would need so many just to make a difference that it obviously is not feasible. Hopefully one day they'll come across some really awesome super conductor plates (that don't need to be sub-freezing temperatures to work) and really really good but thin insulators to make some killer capacitors for this. But I don't think we'll see a market push for it. Other than car audio, the rest of the world economy is looking for longer lasting storage with high capacity which can recharge more quickly. I see caps being more oriented towards solar pv cell applications and even power plant applications where the discharge rate doesn't need to be so high, but they need something which can act quickly enough to compensate for sudden drops in production of power (or spikes in electrical use like when people start getting home) without the worry of an expensive battery system dying out in just a year.
