[QUOTE="SubCool, post: 253018, member: 541200"] i know im partially right here, Cause..why would ur lights dim... Cause the alt turns kinda off and forces the car to rely off the battery, which doesnt have as strong enough current. Thats why its called an Alternator Turns on when needed. U can drive w.o a battery CAUSE the car KNOWs it doesnt have another source, so it keeps drawing from the alt. (not saying it has a brain, but by basic electrical flow.) Yes i understand the distance thing. (kinda). Being electricity travels at the speed of light, who would really understand how 10' of cable would make a difference. As for the Point of a Cap, LETS say your amp Peaks.. and needs 14.4volts. (like some amps support) and ur racing down the highway, neons lit, etc. the Alt gets overdrawn which does hurt the alt a lil bit, AND the amp doesnt have the full power it needs, It kinda touches the amp.. but it does affect it somewhat cause it is asking for so much and not getting it. It does effect your speakers cause of distortion. That Cap prevents any serious pull/draw. and YES it is to give constant power. it doesnt fill when it wants to, it fills when it is not full, or otherwise programmed. (yes its possible) NO, its NOT a battery. hence name CAPACITOR. For the most part.. since it isnt the size of a battery, it charges PRETTY quick. The ONLY purpose is to prevent overdraw and underdraw from its source.. Kinda like a water dam, No dam... no constant pressure.. Ok, As for the electrical system. Since the cap is usualy between the battery and amp or Alt and amp. It effects your elec. sys by not shorting it. If the System is supplied with its needs in full, constantly, it doesnt draw it from any other source or preventing any other component from receiving any electricity. (onec again, water) Running the Shower and washer or toilet at the same time. Ok, now i got my side in, altho short handed and late.. lets end this now.. cause they are totaly different opinions and we could go at this forever. Truce? [/QUOTE]
