[QUOTE="vehementSPL, post: 5489527, member: 582725"] Actually I forget the mathematical formula but at one point I had found the formula on how to convert farad's to AH (amp hours). I have one deep cycle so far and it is rated at 125 ah... And to get the same in farad's from capacitors it was like 2,200 farads... Yes over 2000 farads to get the same reserve as one walmart deep cycle. For a large system capacitors are a total waste of money. As for the reference to the kinetik 800...... For what that cost you get a reg car battery or a deep cycle. (at least from a reserve point of view). I am a firm believer that in a smaller daily app kinetiks are a waste of cash. The 800 has a AH rating of 36 amps. (prob less than the smallest lowest line of battery for cars you can buy at walmart or any other automotive shop) This is just my personal belief . \But there again from a reserve capacity vs dollars there are MUCH better options for normal daily systems than kinetiks. Unless space is an issue or if you are concerned about having it in a cab of a truck (due to toxic gases) IN this situation a optima redtop is prob close to same cost and holds over 2 times the amount if not pushing 3 times.
