Having 1 or 2F will hardly be a strain on any cars charging system compared to the huge draw the amp's consume. A cap has a very low resistance, so very little voltage is lost when it is charged/discharged, so how can something that does not consume and does not waste power be a strain?Caps are useful, but they are not the "answer to all problems" eitherI mentioned a long time ago during a battery debate - to use jumper cables to a friends car (while off) to see what exactly the second battery did to the voltage fluctuation at idle of the first car with a system. Its not so much a strain as people think, but rather a buffer that provides added current during spikes.</blockquote>
