I honedtly think that a capacitor is useless, I had a audiobahn dual cap and it did nothing for me but when I did the big 3 everything worked better my headlights were brighter in general and I never had light flash

 

Thanks

 

capacitor is useless
if i need that much power that my 220alt can not keep up then i would add a #2battery

 

Good point. Sorry for the newbie question

 

adding a second batt. is as bad /worse than a capp. more continuous load trying to keep everything topped up......but a cap IS a bandaid solution....more often than not a neg. return....personally, i run 2 , t3 1000d's and a t3 4075, and a pg m100. and a 20 farad cap works better than a second spiral cell batt so....depends on each setup!!!!i have 4 runs for each pos/neg double zero in my jeep cherokee(welding cable)and the 20 farad cap actually worked better than my second batt.again...(upgraded 225amp alt.) depends what works best....my dash jumps like 3"

 

Caps are very useful, but not for the marketing horsesiht reasons the companies spew.

 

I wish i had a dime for everytime I have to explain why a cap will not stop your lights from dimming, and it will not save your battery/alternator

 

I wish I had that same dime every time I had to explain what purpose a cap really serves. Hint: It has sweet fsck all to do with lights dimming

 

big 3, other 2 are useless
