[QUOTE="Savant, post: 136153, member: 546108"] Is there any reason in particular that you think you NEED a cap? Most of the time they don't do much for you and you are better off getting your alternator upgraded.. If you don't understand how to use the cap, I'm guessing you probably don't really need it either.. you may want to consider bringing it back (sending it back) to where you got it for a refund.. just a thought.. But, if you are dead-set on using it.. you charge it by... do NOT hook the power and ground up first.. hook up the ground.. then, with the test light, put one end of it on the + for the cap, the other on the power wire from the battery.. let the initial connection for the cap be the light... that will charge it slow.. once the light goes out, you aren't drawing current, the cap is full.. NOW you connect the power wires.. once that's done, you can turn on the radio and play away.. (note: I've never used/charged a cap before. Not sure why you can't just pop on the wires and go.. but if these guys say you have to charge it, charge it.. just like I explained it .. which is how they explained it, but in more bits...).. Hope this helps.. [/QUOTE]
