[QUOTE="Fission, post: 1364513, member: 564239"] As far as I'm concerned a capacitor can not charge itself. It has to get power from somewhere and that place is the car battery/alternator. Do not waste time with a capacitor when you could upgrade wires under the hood (big 3, you can search in the electrical/wiring section and get tons of results) and get another battery (perhaps a yellow top) in the trunk/rear that will store an incredible amount more than the capacitor. The ultimate solution would be a high output alternator. With that you may not need an extra battery, but often times with higher output system keeping an extra battery wouldn't hurt.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
