The definition, and physics behind a capacitor is a device that holds up a charge and can release it instantly. Capacitors don't leech that much power. They release it. Then they recharge and do it again. Capacitors only hold very little power. Verrryy little power as compared to any battery. As said in the previous post, a double A has 11,800 farads, where your cap probably has 1... maybe 5. But, they use capacitors in things like flashes for cameras. That'll give you a nice thought of what a capacitor can do. It's just masking it, it's not adding to it. By using a capacitor to mask the problem, you put a bigger strain on your alternator shortening it's life span. Sell the cap on eBay and buy a Batcap800. They're cheap and worth their weight in gold.</p></blockquote><p></p>
