To say that a cap will never help any single person is wrong. They do have a purpose. As minute and stupid as they are, There are times when they can be useful. I personally think they are a waste. For the money people would spend on a cap big enough to make a difference, they should just buy a second battery. But they arent totally worthless for every single setup.

agreed, but why spend 100 bucks on a .5 farad cap when you can get another battery for about the same price

X2. Thats what most people dont realize. Even a battery as small as say a Kinetik 600 is so much more powerful than even a 50 farad cap. And you can get a kinetik 600 for like $60.
