[QUOTE="Stalin-ohaulic, post: 6220909, member: 585517"] You are correct when you say to do the big 3 and to get rid of the 3 farad cap IF that cap is not a low esr electrolytic. The rest of what you said is BS and you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Capacitors may not help with voltage drop, but they aren't parasitic drains like batteries are. Batteries NEVER charge to the vehicle's charge of over 14v which means they are always drawing current. Capacitors do charge to the vehicles level and stop charging once they reach it. If this guy has a voltage issue, adding batteries will only make it worse. There is no replacement for a high output alternator. Capacitors won't help but they are nowhere NEAR as bad on an electrical system as more batteries. Recommending what you recommended is like a guy asking for help because his house was burning down and you telling him to make sure he turns the water off to the house and adds more wood and insulation.
