I remember seeing a huge cap that some guy bought that was russian military surplus that he was able to use to start his car. I don't know how long he could let it sit before it would drain but there was an article about it somewhere. It was 10 plus years ago IIRC

I highly doubt it, just because a capacitor is big or huge doesnt mean it can start a car. Its still going to have NO reserve and is going to discharge in a split second and if its big enough most likely fry the cars electronics before it starts anything.

It was huge and was way to big to ever use in a normal car. I know he did use it to start the car. It was some strange cap from the russian military and i don't even remember what country this guy was in.
