[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8135490, member: 614752"] I really think that statement does not tell the whole story about how, by how much, and under what limitations they are useful. What kind of gains? At what size/cost investment in a large enough bank? Would they gain the same from more batteries or more runs of wire but are limited on batteries in their class? You'll notice the only point I was trying to make on the subject is that you can find out exactly how much energy your capacitors store by unplugging them and see how long things stay powered on using just them. I've never said that a large enough bank wouldn't do something, but I would maintain that almost everybody on this forum is no where near the point where that will be the best investment of resources and time for a gain. Why don't you start a thread explaining the benefit of a capacitor bank. Give some actual numbers, test data, and proper application. Statements like "world record holders use caps" and "they help significantly" will mislead a whole lot more people than they help, I assure you. [/QUOTE]
