[QUOTE="joetama, post: 2769731, member: 564641"] It is best to have a great electrical system. Kind of a car audio duhhhh. Caps have their place, but people use them as a 'patch' to solve all of their electrical problems. A cap has a shorter charge/discharge time than a battery, but a cap doesn't hold that much power thus it can not deliver much current for a very long period of time, and a good battery is worthless if you don't have a way to charge it while it is getting discharged. But, in most cases a battery is fast enough, and it is getting charged fast enough to keep a steady voltage. You are best off to get a battery and alt. And if you really still want to and feel the urge a cap, but it is not a needed and there is a great possiblity that it will not help or change anything in any shape or form. [/QUOTE]
